Can't miss it. You'd better miss it


This morning this portable sign was sitting squarely in the southbound lane of the 300 block of Dean Street, announcing that hydrant flushing will begin in a few days. Southbound traffic was required to drive into the center of the roadway and across the broken yellow line to pass the sign and warning cones safely.
A call to Public Works to inquire why it was in the traffic lane probably resulted in the sign's being moved, but I didn't go back by later.
If parking were permitted on the west side of Dean Street, it might be acceptable to put the trailer there; but parking is permitted only on the east side of Dean Street (and then only in compliance with posted restricted parking signs).
So far, there is no mention on the City's website of the hydrant flushing schedule.
