Been a while since I updated on the changes around East Aurora, and our new village is coming along nicely:
Brick work is being laid along the commerical district of East Main Street. I'm not just referring to the old bricks that used to pave the area under the viaduct at Main and Riley/Elm. These are installed in an ornamental design along the sidewalk, while the entire road is being paved in new bricks. Some are not level with the others and one has to wonder how road salt and snow plows are going to effect this construction. I'm sure it's all thought out, though. While definitly expensive, the brickwork does add a classy touch to our revamped village.
The new CVS store is emerging quickly from the rubble of what was Napa Auto Parts at the corner of Main and Route 16. It's amazing how fast they're getting this place up, but then again, it appears crews are working even on Sundays, as the photo attests. I usually take my construction update photos on Sunday or after hours, as construction crews seem a little camera unfriendly.
The circle is no longer a mud pit, but in fact has been repaved and has a flagstone sidewalk around it. Especially attractive to avid pedestrians, such as myself, is the island and crosswalks created for easily crossing both lanes of roundabout traffic. It makes the task much easier and safer. The photo below of the circle is a composite of two seperate shots stitched together to allow for a wider view.
