This was the view (facing east) August 10th just after crossing the bridge behind Holman Seed Farm on my way to the Collinsville Elementary schools on 129th East Ave. The stretch of road that connect to 129th from 2nd and Main was being obstructed with on-going construction on a new sewer system east of 129th. The project extends as far south as 136th St. North (below) with many new houses likely in the not to distant future. -- Ted |
The beginnings of a new residentail road were apparent in this view facing north from 136th St. North just east of 129th E. Ave. a few weeks ago (in addition to the new sewer placement). |
