Title: It is a good day in Calis today
Post by: usedbustickets on March 05, 2015, 13:47:21 PM
The sun is shining 8), Animal Aid quiz tonight  :) - shine up that trophy Andy we are back tonight : :) - and best of all the council has started to re-lay the road that was torn up when they concreted the canals.  Well when i say that they have started I mean at this end on the canal running down to the Hotel Pelin.  Not sure about the really bad stretch down by the upside down bridge... but let's hope they move onto there when they have finished by us.  ;)  ;) Yippppeeeeee (don't take much to make me happy)

Oooh, that makes us happy too, thought they had given up on the roads. So glad the weather is improving, we are over next week, hope it continues.

Your wish is my command.....plus a Tuborg Gold!!

The roads on the sides of the canals have been laid with the base noggin, and awaits the top coat of tar oil from the oil lorry and tipper lorries laden with the top stones, and of course the man with the whistle to orchestrate the laying of the oil and stones.

No work on the roads on the side of the upside down bridge canal, although it could be that at least one side (south side) will be laid with block paving to match in with the roads coming down from the BBM.  What will happen on the other side is probably relaying of the old oil and stone road base.

No progress whatever at the back of the prom, behind Nil Bar / Bambu down to the back of the Mutlu Hotel.

They will probably wait until the season starts and is full of tourists before starting this area  ;)

Glad to see that this road is looking much better, it was in a right state last year, we had to dodge the pot holes every day when we drove along it.

Hold your horses and don't get to excited about the road along by Pelin Hotel.We live along there and my wife asked the workers what they are doing to the road as we to thought it was the start of something special,but no just putting that stone top on it as the road was really bad,some pot holes were so deep you needed rope to pass them.So know we have a slightly smooth rd but the dust is bloody everywhere again. >:(

Two steps forward - smoother temporary road and no potholes - and one step back ..... dust!!  But the biggest issue comes when they have finished the road.... tar pools and splashes up the car requiring a 'diesel wash' ...... doh!!

Any further news on the roads by the canals? I'll be out soon, but would love to know they'd done something over the last couple of months!  Wishful thinking, probably! My place is near the old upside down bridge.  Thanks for any news...

In a word (No) not a thing has been done and it is even worse now as the dust is everywhere.It has to be the worst looking Tourist resort in the whole of Mugla. :( I my opinion. I am sure some will defend the rustic charm of Calis.

Oh, what a shame! It's a pity the Belediye can't see the impact of mud and dust on tourists.

Great news they have started doing the roads along the canals.No block paving :( but it is going to be stone and tarmac at least no dust. Just the problem of black stuff everywhere on the cars.

Excellent, at least it will, presumably, level them - just hope it doesn't take them too long now!

We had to walk through wet  tar, they have sprayed on the road opposite B52 and the back of the Nil bar on Wednesday.
So it looks like there going to Tarmac the road, How considerate, Just in time for the tourists.

Agree re the dust and then slush after it has been watered drove me crackers the road stuff just seemed to appear overnight like it does out there, the bit on the Pelin road did look loads better after I must admit, more so  we also have building work going on next door to us a complex that looks nothing like the artists impression at all, and looks on the net to be fully booked already from I believe next week!
Drove me nuts with the noise and dust everywhere, I tried sunbathing with ear plugs in but it did not drown out the noise, thank goodness for the beach to escape to... 8)

It happened to us a couple of years ago, tarmac from the road all up the sides of the hire car.  We took it into the Garage which also cleans carpets which is on the opposite side to the New Shopping Mail and just along a bit.
We waited while they did it and had a few cups of cay.  It cost 40 TL.
