- Water Street has always been like this. Before the city was built, that land from the city limits to the police station was swamp. The city has spent a lot of money in the past to fix and repave it. The problem is the ground underneath goes through frost heave all winter and starts sinking in the summer.

- I bet it's trees. Sometimes when the temperature drops significantly, this happens because the bark contracts faster than the sap inside the tree. It can actually make a loud noise without damaging the tree. Our temperature dropped quite a bit last night. Sometimes trees even get cracks in the bark from it. (10)

Original title:Harbor Expressway and FW Rd light still out
Post summary:It's been almost two days and the lights are still out. I drove by earlier and there seemed to be three accidents. Why is it taking so long to get city workers to reset the lights?

With crap like this, and sidewalks not being plowed for a week and a half, it makes me think there's some serious corruption in the local government. Before you say "they don't work on weekends," they should
