As of yesterday, drivers entering Plainfield via Somerset Street no longer need endure the bone-jarring corduroy road which the block from the North Plainfield line to Front Street has been for decades.
In a SINGLE WORK DAY, the stretch of street about which I and many others have complained was reborn.
What was so hard about that?
(Make a mental note though, that it was only milled and paved, not rebuilt as some think it needed. We'll see soon enough if this will fail like the South Avenue work done a decade ago, when a lack of funds caused ITS reconstruction to be skipped in favor of a cosmetic mill-and-pave.)
Where was the mayor? This was an occasion TRULY WORTHY of Her Honor doing a star turn -- say a ceremonial snapshot in a red blazer and atop a road roller.
Could have been part of the new communications strategy.
Maybe even some free donuts for the workers and passersby.
Coulda... shoulda... woulda...
At any rate, enjoy your new silky smooth roll into town!
