What's new on the manor?

It's been a while since I last blogged recent developments in and around Jeziorki. Dramatic weather (strong sun together with big, low clouds) lured me out with camera to see what's up.

Above: ul. Nawołocka, which was being dug up in late August is now re-paved on the stretch nearest ul. Trombity. Brand new street lights have appeared here. The rest of the street is still total bagno. A short-cut best avoided.

Below: At the other end of ul. Nawłocka, by ul. Karczunkowska, work on installing sewerage is still underway. This has been going on for three years now (yes!); local inhabitants must be getting tired and impatient.

Below: Good news for the inhabitants of Nowa Iwiczna - they've got a proper, paved Park+Ride by the station (left of centre of the frame). No signage yet. At W-wa Jeziorki, there's now on average 35 cars being left in the mud on the side of ul. Gogolińska, our local unofficial P+R.

Very slowly, the suburbs of south Warsaw and south of Warsaw are civilising...

UPDATE: Sunday, another day of sunshine and low dramatic cloud. More news from the neighbourhood...

I followed crawler tracks into the woods from ul. Dumki and found a new drainage ditch (left), linking the wetlands at the north end of ul. Trombity to the frog pond at the south end of ul. Dumki.

It was dug to let water drain off the fields and gardens (below) on this low-lying stretch of our road.

But it also means that when it gets really wet again, there's a risk that the lower pond will flood across ul. Dumki, cutting off the houses there.

Below: ul. Kórnicka on the other side of the tracks has been widened; could it be that this road is due for some asphalt? It would make sense to connect it all the way up to ul. Baletowa to act as a bypass for Zamienie and Dawidy Bankowe.
