[Lincolnparkdc] The work on 13th

[John Hirschmann]

I hope they have read the underground utility map carefully and know that a very major 24” natural gas line going under the west side of 13th.  Not something to accidentally damage. 

There are pavement markings in several other intersections.

They can’t use a regular backhoe or excavator if they aren’t sure where the lines are, since they might sever one.  Even once they know where it is, they would use a vac truck for the last few feet of digging.
