After meetings and errands, I stopped in Mill Valley at Mill Valley Market for some groceries. I don't know how often you go into Mill Valley, but a few years ago they decided to put the utility lines underground on Blithedale Avenue down into Throckmorton Avenue. I'm all for underground utilities, but it snarled an already crowded artery (Blithedale Avenue) as well as surrounding streets, neighborhoods and downtown.
Anyway, today, I noticed that the construction crews were nowhere to be found and the improvements were well worth the hassle. Some of the poles, sans wires, were still around but it looks and feels so much better.
Now, not all the utilities are underground, but I hope that they put us through some more misery so that they will be.
So, you tell me, which do you prefer? And do you think it's worth it? I do.
