With collection rates now at 90%, officials say the toughest work is done, and the remaining visible upgrades will ensure a durable, future-proof street for at least 50 years. The city stands firm on its progress and costs, even inviting independent engineers to verify their work. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
