Tell me about it, we recently moved to a place just off BMB, first off we delayed moving stuff because of the drain laying along BMB, we had no sooner moved than Aydem dug up our street to lay cables.
I thought the idea of storm drains was to have them in the gutters, not in the pavements which are higher than the roads and then to leave them below the pavement level just for good measure. At the moment they are neither use nor ornament. Talk about working a*se about face, you couldn't make it up.
Bad for tourism? YOU BET, if it was my first visit I wouldn't be back in a hurry. Wouldn't mind but they've had all winter to do this work and they start in March !!!
