Reply to "Blackwater Canyon Line - March 20, 2025, Brick Street Extension Planning"

Thank you, Jay, Jeff, Dave!

Jay, It's been a long time since I was in Bellevue.  I looked on Google Maps and see a lot of yellowish tan streets like are in the northeast part of Butler near the hospital.  Yes, they are staking up the bricks and relaying them when they finish each part of the pipe work by our younger daughter's in-laws.  I'm going to watch and see if they sink or not since I am witnessing the repair.  I think the slight bumps and dips on my clay streets mimic that without even trying. 

Jeff, thank you for the great photograph and description of rolling on the curve.  Yours really looks nice.  My curves aren't as tight a radius as yours, so hopefully it will turn out right the first or second try.

Dave,

I painted all the depressions with charcoal gray and let it dry overnight.  Then I mixed burnt sienna with red and tried to paint only the tops of the bricks.  I got some in the gaps.  I'll wash it with some charcoal gray when it is good and dry and see what it looks like.
