Building of Las Casitas Parque

Here are some of the pictures from my camera's card i took last year during the building of the park Las Casitas, formerly Stoneridge.

It has never been a purpose to build a timeline. I just took pictures in days when i was annoyed by noise, dust, etc.. I have no words to describe how inconvenience this whole think has been to me. Many hours a day, many days with noises over 60 dB outside and that was for a year. And when the main construction phase with noises ended or after pouring the concrete, they started the alley on the other side of the building, with an excavator excavating for more than 4 months.

At some moment in time they were three projects going simultaneously, uphill (pictures below), downhill and sewer. They were many times when i simply had to leave the apartment because of noise and dust (i believe the legal term is called loss of use).

Some of the following pictures have already been published in different blog posts of mine.

Last one is on July 1, i think i have some more after but there are irrelevant for the purpose right now, and that is trying to prove there was room for something underneath, construction lasted i think till December.

First, the notice

I believe the space underneath that zig-zagging walking path is empty. But i think there is a way to verify. I could stick a camera through that hole.

There is also concrete poured on several areas of the park itself including the half court. And yes, i don't see many people there.

Also i believe that if they dug a little and lowered that ramp in the ground here, extend the rails for safety of the players, they could had cut the cost and construction time by 1/3 or even 1/2, shortening the ramp, maybe not needing the zig-zag, an L shaped would had been enough. Thinking of the many tons of concrete they put there.

I always believed there is aesthetics in efficiency. The way it is right now it looks nice on the upper side but ugly when seen from inside the complex.

And hey! It's tax money.

 

The water fountain and the 5x5 square metal lid next to it (left in the picture).

I also believe there could be one guy in the whole complex who would climb there in a (electric) wheel chair to play basketball (yes all the Mexicans kids in the neighborhood forgot about soccer and now play basketball) and that could have been me if i had my leg amputated.
