Heads up! There will be new asphalt work done at night from August 5-8. Here's the statement from the company performing the work...

Superior Ready Mix (At Mission Gorge Rd. and Princess View Dr.) has a job for the City of San Diego supplying asphalt for some City streets. The City is requiring for public safety reasons that this work be done at night. The work will be for four nights - Monday night, August 5 through Thursday night, August 8.

We have taken all steps possible to reduce the sound: the trucks will be routed in the plant so that they do not need to back up; the plant will be pre-loaded so that as much asphalt as possible is made before night, and as previously noted we have installed a new type of back up alarm which makes a sort of hissing noise and is very directional and dissipates with distance. We have also made some improvements to the plant which will reduce any sound from the plant.

The CUP allows night operations when necessary for reasons of safety and public health. If you hear of any complaints please let me know. If you can help spread the word about this, it would be helpful. Thanks again for your courtesy and assistance with this necessary work.
