Unfortunately, he went beyond his authority and he should have contacted someone higher up.

When you patch potholes in wet weather, you might as well be patching with oatmeal. We have to wait until the ground dries up.

If you look at the fencing, it did do a lot of damage and it’s something we’re gonna have to fix up. But the good news is it did hold up, and did do its...

The supervisor who made the call has not been reassigned. He has been disciplined and it will go on his record. They felt it was an unintentional mistake and they felt he wasn’t profiting from...

Today looked like our only window of opportunity to do this week. We just went with it.

We’re gonna do the best we can to protect the public.

I think the racetrack has been a great outlet for folks who do want to race in a safe manner, rather than on the freeways.

We gotta let the ground dry out a little bit first.

It’s causing a small disruption, but there’s no lack of taxi cabs at the airport. We’ll just make adjustments as need be.

One boulder was stuck in a tree — the size of a car engine.

It’ll be more difficult to call somebody on the outside for the more choice assignments.

We think we’re in better shape now than we were two years ago. What we have to do is keep repaving our roads and take care of them instead of letting them go to long...

We tried to start a little earlier so that we could be done in time for the afternoon rush hour. It turned out that caused a backlog of turning cars, though.

They just happened to roll down the right way.

If we make the roadway higher it will be a dam. If we make it any lower the road will be washed out.

When you talk to the crews, everybody’s tired, but at the same time everyone knows they rely on us to keep the roads open. I think we’re doing our best. We’re just going to keep...

Data shows there have been a high number of pedestrian accidents in this area the King Street corridor.

We just got it, and need to look at it closer before we respond.

We can’t open up the road until the waterfall recedes. Until someone turns off the fire hose, I don’t think we can open up the highway.

What we’re finding is the rocks may be coming from another property down into our right of way, so we’re trying to figure out who the property owner is and see what the stability is...

The reason we’re using the zipper lane barrier is it gives a little more than the regular barrier, so we don’t want a car, when it impacts it, to ricochet back into the other lane...

We have lost about four weekends of work that we were going to pour concrete. And people are asking us why do we only pour concrete on the weekends. Well, we need to close couple...

When we started this project, it was meant to improve safety. It was not meant to help develop Turtle Bay.

Safety at some point is going to have to take precedent over convenience, but that’s some things we’re going to have to take a look at, whether we can do the job without really hampering...

I guess it’s a way for a lot of people to express themselves after losing a loved one, but we had incidents where the roadside memorial got out of hand.

I don’t think anyone questions the good intentions of the project. The issue brought up is who’s going to foot the bill.

Expect to see them out there all week if the weather holds up.

Our department’s landscape expert is working closely with them.

The debris that we found was mainly trees, vegetation, some small rocks and mostly mud. So we just want to take care of that with all this rainy weather we’ve gotten lately.

We’re going to keep the right lane closed indefinitely for now until we can figure out what to do. This area is kind of dark at night, so we were worried that any drivers would...

The kids were leaving flowers and everything all over the sidewalk, and nobody could get through, and they were also leaving unopened beer bottles.

Just because you don’t have debris today doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not going to have debris coming down from upstream another day. We’ll just keep double-checking until the storm hits.

We try to use it more on the freeways because that’s where we have the most wear and tear.

And we can’t afford to have traffic on the freeway at the time because it creates vibrations and that affects the way the concrete sets properly.

We apologize for the delay.

Some of our guys, they get skittish working at night after what happened on the zipper lane accident a couple of years ago. And we don’t blame them.
