Lincoln Ct

Echoing through the neighborhood this afternoon, the sound of a serious car accident. As usual, it was at Lincoln & Malone:

No one was hurt seriously except the passenger sitting in the right car. She seemed to be in a state of shock and eventually left the scene on a stretcher.

The little pedestrian with the scooter was also hurt, but I don’t know how that happened.

This intersection seems to be a more dangerous than most. Why is that?

Unusually quiet day on our street.

They’ve started tearing up our street:

At first glance you wouldn’t think there is anything wrong with our street, no potholes or such, but this is what I was told:

We’re prepping for a keep-seal program. What we’re doing is taking out the bad stuff, putting in the good stuff. And then over the summer, or in about a month or so … it’s a two part process. The first part is the gravel and oil. Oil and rock will go down as the first sealer, and in about a month after that we’re going to put a black scooter seal on top of it. The oil is thick enough and has polymers and things like that to seal the cracks. That will seal the street to save it for another twenty years.

The crossing guard’s name is Brian (coincidence?)
