Stalled Development Week: Piles of Rubble Might Soon Leave Red Car Property

Photo: Diane Edwardson, August 11, 2009. For months, the rubble pile sat near the construction site of a retaining wall between the Red Car Property and 2596 Adelbert. This week, some of the rubble made it into the truck that hasn't moved in months. (Click on photo to enlarge.)

"Crane" may not be the right term for the above piece of equipment. It seems to be a multi-use piece of hillside construction equipment with interchangeable heads for the extendable arm. If you know the appropriate term for this equipment, please email us: redcarproperty@gmail.com.

Tomorrow, we'll review construction of the retaining wall.
