Popping back in a bit.

[dawgchain]

Hey people, long time no see. just thought I'd give you all a heads up, the sunlight of Jordan creek tunnels will start in 2012, so enjoy them now.

I am going to try to keep my nose in here more often, but things are really busy for me now.

To those who remember me... damn you are old....

Long time no see.

And say what about the JC tunnels?

[slow_walker]

Hey Dawg, it has been a while buddy.

Are you trying to tell us they are going to be uncovering most of the tunnel?

[redox]

wow I was still a "n00b" last time I saw dawgchain on here.

[cobcob]

I believe he's talking about the "daylighting" project... opening up the JCT like they did up at Smith Park on Division...

[dawgchain]

Exactly. They had some surveyors down there repeatedly in the past few months. We got a "unofficial non-public" set of plans for phase one of the day-lighting last week. got to look at them for a bit, but they took them back to the city planners afterward, so I could not get a copy.

And to correct my statement, they will be Cutting the ribbon and opening the new green-way trails in 2012, which means the tunnels will be GONE by then. At the current planned construction times. Though this IS Springfield, with the way PW works on stuff, they may not begin it for 4 more years, and still claim to be on track to meet deadline.

I can state this much from the plans I saw, some of the tunnels will be refaced and stabilized. They will add solar lighting and a cell booster for security. A short portion will remain a tunnel with a raised trail to continue the greenway trials underground for a few blocks. But, the majority will be opened up and brought back to dirt and stone.

So, how often do you all get together, and when is the next time people wanna go out somewhere?

[Willard]

Hey Dogchain! How's it going? I'd be interested to know if they plan on bringing back the old iron bridge on Boonville, building a new stone arch bridge (to replace the one that was removed a long time ago) on Main Street, and restoring the old stone arch bridge over Campbell? Either way, it's very exciting news to hear... of course, I don't think it's safe to have a public walking path in a creek tunnel... We all know how fast the tunnel fills up when it rains hard.

I'm having a bonfire this weekend.

[Willard]

Dang it, I'll be here in Springfield. Of course it's my Father-in-Law's big birthday bash he has every year. Booze, fire, pipes and cigars, brisket and other such delicious foods...

[dawgchain]

Springfield being Springfield, after all that, they put it ff AGAIN. Current plans as of when I quit on march 1st was to start work on the tunnels in 2020. lazy bastiches.

I am currently jobless, so looking for things to fill my time. will be on here a lot more often now.
