To see work only being done 8 hours or 10 hours a day just makes no sense to me. Have 2 or 3 shifts and get it done 2 or 3 times faster.

I'm sure the work was contracted, and maybe it wasn't possible to do it that way, but I just found it hard to believe that they city would allow that to happen.
I know some of them go at night. Earlier this month I drove my husband to the airport at 3 AM and they had McKnight & 12 Ave lit up like it was noon.
They were paving.
