Vlahakis said the workers at the 2612 - 2614 Corralitas construction site, have "So far they've been diligent about cleaning up after themselves." He notes the worker who picked up the drilling rig Saturday morning was sweeping the street (see above photo).

They only drilled near the top of the site. We're wondering if they will return with a more compact rig for the rest of the work.
Our narrow, curvy street was first paved in the late 1920s. It was not designed for heavy equipment, nor the number of cars that park here normally. Then there's added burden of a construction crew's personal trucks.
Construction in existing Hillside neighborhoods is a pain in the ass. Everyone needs to work together to lessen the impact on all of us.
