I appreciate your disdain. Please know that they will eventually clean it all up. My neighborhood was a wreck for many months and now there is little evidence of the turmoil.

One thing that my wife and I noticed today was all the oil stains on our neighborhood roads. Most of the time you never pay attention, but when you do, it is astounding how much oil is splotched across your roads.

Meggison Road Eastbound from Okahumpka Circle on is an absolute mess. The trucks leaving the construction site are dropping almost as much dirt as they are carrying. When the weather is dry, it is a dust bowl. When it is wet, it is a mudhole. The contractor must be getting a commission from the local auto glass repair shops and carwashes for the amount of stones and dirt they are leaving on the roadway. If you value your car's windshield and appearance, I would avoid Meggison for the foreseeable future.

BTW, for the directionally challanged, Eastbound is away from Brownwood.

I do think the developer could hire a street sweeper and make few more frequent passes during the day to minimize that. It’s also bad off of Marsh Bend Trail south of Corbin Trail…..Calling it a disgrace though is harsh. Construction sites are dirty messy areas, plain and simple.

That would be southbound not eastbound. It’s a north/south road.

They do run a street sweeper every few days - seen it myself.

Which circle is Okahumpka Circle?

it's still under construction, @ about halfway between warm springs to 44. there is a lot of debris around, but i expect it should be cleaned up before long. it's going to be a lovely area when completed.

Sage:

1. an aromatic plant with grayish-green leaves that are used as a culinary herb, native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean.

2. a profoundly wise man, especially one who features in ancient history or legend.

But if you're asking about the "user title" on this forum, it just means you're reached a certain # of posts...

Yep, another "one post wonder" account. Account created 3 years ago and drops a first post bomb. That is a trend around here. Gotta keep traffic moving. :1rotfl:
