I feel like virtually every day I see another sidewall being torn up by workers, often even the same sidewalls over and over. Why is it done this way? Presumably this is to install services but if so why can't this be coordinated to avoid constantly doing this?

  1. Need to make extra money or how will they be able to afford the million dollars investment portfolios.

    Construction/maintenance for the underground services.

    The companies are only required to fill the holes and make it safe to walk across. They’re not required to restore it to the original look.

    I also hate it. It looks so dodgy.

    Nothings changed, in the 90’s in Paddington I watched them repave a side walk for a week, the day they finished the gas company came along and dug up their nice new shiny footpath right down the middle and filled it in with that black tar crap.
