This is why we can't have nice things

Day 033
Work was slated to start on the playground rehab, and as promised the construction fencing went up. Well that security fence lasted exactly 1 day

It seems I should have called somebody or at least shouted at the two women about to negotiate the twisted fence, ok, maybe the toddlers being pushed were more my size.

SFist with the story Link So, Missionites and fans of Dolores Park may have already noticed the ugly fencing that went up around the playground and central meadow of Dolores Park earlier this week, marking the first stage of the park's renovation -- which has now been phased so that the entire park did not have to be shut down at once. They totally cut a hole in the fence within like 24 hours (not visible, at right), and then just went ahead and mowed down a section of the fence so they could get back in!

Day 030

There are 3 or 4 access points from Church Street down to the footpath alongside the J-Church line. All are in poor condition and encourage pedestrians to illegally cross the track. A physical barrier could be added along the foot path, the concrete steps could be rehabilitated and new planting made to soften the edges.

Dolores Park

Day 028

Mission Dolores Park (commonly called Dolores Park; formerly known as Mission Park) is a San Francisco, California, city park located in the neighborhood of Mission Dolores, at the western edge of the Mission District, which lies to the east of the park. To the west of the park is a hillside referred to as "Dolores Heights" or considered a part of the Castro neighborhood. Dolores Park is two blocks tall by one block wide, based on the configuration of north-south and east-west blocks in that part of San Francisco. It is bounded by 18th Street on the north, 20th Street to the south, Dolores Street to the east and Church Street to the west. The northern end of Dolores Park is located directly across the street from Mission High School.

Ms. Lehane will be joined by project managers to present the above projects.

Not simply a mercenary opportunity to meet a number of engineers at URS, after all water is not really my area, because I truly am enamored by the idea of Medecins sans Frontieres and all of its offshoots.

I think I can just manage to squeeze it in-between class and the Emperor.

As for Monday a mixture of applications, phonecalls and study.
