Day Two of the gas main replacement on South Bayview has seen a fairly efficient process of (upper right) digging the trench and (left) connecting the new plastic main before putting it in the trench. Lower left, the main is covered with a type of temporary concrete. This took place on the west side within a distance stretching from Belsize to a spot in front of the Bayview Dental Clinic. The narrowing of traffic led to trouble for a delivery driver (lower right) when he parked on the east sidewalk. There was no ticket. Work was finished by 3 pm. Work will now begin on the rest of Bayview. The main to be replaced runs from Millwood to Parkhurst Blvd. Residents there will wish to be warned that the contractor, Link-Line, is scheduled to replace mains all through Leaside, starting on Parkhurst. Interestingly, the old cast iron main is simply left in the ground. The foreman indicates that his crews will return to the newly-laid main at some point, breaking the temporary concrete and making the necessary connections to take the gas into buildings. He also suggested once again that the priority is such so that the City can lay new sidewalks on South Bayview this year. Day Two of gas main work goes well
