    Can they really plan 'no access' and make all the residence hump it up and down the construction zone to get to their cars parked...where? seems excessive, and possibly not legal? What about anyone on your street who may have disabilities?

    Joe did heavy research on this garage subject, he may be able to help. I only did a little looking in the fall, and from what I saw $107 for an enclosed spot is a good deal around MKE.

      Agreed. We have a mix of old and young folks on the street. Some of the old folks who attended a public meeting last fall came away with concerns that humping down the street was the plan. They were not happy. Problem is we haven't been given much info since. Should be a fun summer.

        I found that the best place to search for space where you would be allowed to work on a car was the "parking & storage" section of craigslist. $107 isn't bad for a 10x20 storage unit, but they most likely wont let you work on anything. The flip side is that it will most likely be more secure than renting a random garage. If you have any intentions of working on the car I would recommend looking for something 'private', where the landlord is fine with car work. 

        Generally, the closer you get to Milwaukee, the more expensive things get

            What a burden. Does this also interrupt your water service?

                Not clear how that will work. They're laying new water line on the south side of the street right now so no interruption. Next is to tear up the north side of the street where the feeder lines meet the existing main line.

                    Still at the house. Should be interesting. Next event isn't until the 19th. So far access still looks plausible.

                    Here is end of day today.

                            So they keep saying. One mile and a summer of mayhem for us that benefits the rest of the city of New Berlin points west. Snap you've obviously been using too much water and the neighbors were complaining about low pressure in their showers or something.

                            Round one was laying new 8" water pipes on our side of the street. Round two is connecting the household lines to the main, which seems to involve digging up everything they dug up before and carving 4'x10' by 8' deep trench holes in everyone's lawn. Round three will be digging up and replacing the old main line on the other side of the street and replacing it with a 12" main, and I expect digging up everything they already dug up twice to re-reconnect everything they already connected. And somewhere after all of this they repave the street...

                                      True that, though my navigator is getting a bit worn down by all of this.

                                      Today was a good day for 4wd truck.... just to get down my street.
