Well, dry weather makes the demolition (and future construction) go quickly, but some downtown businesses are starting to think that Sand Hill Development is well named, since dust and dirt are an ongoing problem. The developers and their demolition company, Devcon, are trying to mitigate the mess by adding a second daily street sweeper and using water trucks to control the dust.
Night work on Washington Avenue should finish this week, and then truck traffic on Mathilda will be less of a problem. Next on the agenda are design plans for sidewalks, tree wells and streetlights.
One positive development from all this activity...the six protected redwood trees that will create Redwood Plaza are starting to show new growth, now that there are fewer buildings around them!
