For the past 2 weeks construction workers have been working on a section of road next to our apartment compound. The road is called Gruzinki. The workers have been tearing up a good bit of the sidewalk to add additional parking spaces. This of course will only attract more traffic that will further contribute to the gridlock I mentioned in the previous post.
Heavy equipment carved out the additional spaces and curbing has been installed and the areas have all been graded smooth. There is a slight bit of asphalt laid down but clearly the paving has not been finished. There are construction barriers placed in front of the new parking spaces obviously indicating (at least to me) the project is still ongoing.
As you might have guessed drivers have already wiggled between the barriers and parked and already filled the spaces. You might have also guessed they’ve parked their cars perpendicular to, diagonal to and parallel with the curb…as usual.
The addition of more parking and more congestion has certainly improved the neighborhood …gridlock persists…long live gridlock!. And of course, pedestrian traffic is now reduced by at least half…now we have sidewalk gridlock. Progress…
