General Road and Highway Discussion

The pavers they're replacing do look at lot better, the older pavers are in pretty rough shape.

I suspect this was the key rationale for rebuilding the sidewalks. And, no, I don't think it was salt, it was stones that were breaking up. Hopefully the new stones are better suited and more durable for this.

Seems like a really short lifespan. Concrete sidewalks can last for 100 years sometimes. That being said, I have no idea if pavers last longer or shorter. Here most streets are brick or pavers and most seem pristine, but some are worn (and could be 100s of years old) but they also seem to do maintenance on them constantly. So I really have no idea what the expected life span of these things are, but given that I remember them redoing King St. it seems like it should have lasted longer.
