Work needs to be done on this block of Washington Blvd to sewers to prevent flooding like what happened twice in summer 2010. Not sure if it has been done, but work around this manhole has ceased to happen for months now but a barrier remains. I'd like to see any remaining upgrades to sewage system move forward asap and then construction equipment removed.
Barrier that this was originally created for is gone... now at 2656 W Washington the construction work of the sewage pipes is still under way, but that should get taken care of soon enough (or not).
