Noticed something strange being installed at King / Francis. Across King, on the east side, where the crosswalk will be, they had dug an 18" trench. Along that trench, there were ~8 metal poles, standing vertically on the bottom of the trench, not buried at all. The top of the poles was level with where the pavement will eventually be. What would those be for? All I could think was maybe some sort of barrier could be inserted into them for when they need to close King for events?
If it was, that would be a very useful addition, I am kind of surprised the city didn't have that before. Closing the road with orange construction signs always seemed to be a bit unfortunate.
