He added he has received phone calls because police stopped people in the construction <br /> zone where Mr. Stromenger lives. The project was supposed to be done without closing the <br /> road; however, it needed to be closed for safety. <br /> Jeff Calgart, 14404 Dysprosium Street NW, commented the sidewalks should be put in right and <br /> is starting to chip in front of his house.

He questioned what happened to the wood from the trees and whether <br /> the roots would be removed before the project is finished. He mentioned he would need to make <br /> payments. <br /> City Council / October 11, 2011 <br /> Page 8of17 <br />
