D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

[weofodthignen]

One day last week, they closed a busy block in the neighborhood to dig huge trenches in the roadway. (The only warning I saw was one-day no parking signs in one place, the day before.) Traffic was detoured all the way around the park; as I walked past on the way home from the bus stop, a worker grabbed a sign from the back of a truck to mark a sharp right turn, and soon after I watched a bus painfully negotiate it onto the deliberately curvy residential street. Luckily they don't run articulated buses on that route. Then I saw a woman do a rapid U-turn and get out of there rather than drive the detour. The bus stop by the park is used by some disabled people; I wonder where they were supposed to catch it.
