There's a lot of these weird things with the roads department I find.
For example, choosing to do street cleaning in a neighborhood where extensive sidewalk replacement is ongoing. So, every single stretch of road available to park on has street cleaning - no parking signs from 7am-5pm, and the places where they havn't put those signs have no parking cones put up by the sidewalk replacement contractor. There is literally no available street parking in an approximately 8 block radius around my house for the next two day from 7am onward (I don't leave for work at 7am, so not sure where my car should go).
The sidewalk people aren't even close to done either, and are making a pretty decent mess, so I can only imagine that the street cleaning will need to be redone anyway. You'd think it isn't rocket science to delay cleaning until the construction work is done.
