Construction or development projects for public use, such as bridges, roads, and schools.
In a simpler explanation, public works are supposed to help society ease the way of life. A bridge is built to help us cross to the other side. A road is built for easier negotiation of vehicles moving about. A building is built to house people. So the results are supposed to give us a pleasing aesthetic view of our surroundings, as well, aside from the practical uses of public works.
However, let me talk about the process of implementing public works.
Usually construction companies just dig and dig deep without regard if the hoes hit the sewage system. Hence in our community, you would find that the roads are wet: why? Because there is continual overflowing of sewage water. They are smelly, bad for the health and could make people very sick. This is the Skyway 3 project which I campaigned heavily against last year but lost to a nearsighted bunch of political leaders. Please scan this blog for the Petition I wrote the Supreme Court.
How come, the construction company does not do anything about it? They don't because all they worry about is the payment on the project. The sooner it gets finished, the better.
Moreover, many companies do not bother to provide a decent sidewalk for pedestrians to pass through the streets affected by their activities. So we have to walk on the streets, or endanger our lives by walking beside the construction site, without any protection at all.
There ought to be a Magna Carta for Pedestrians and Commuters. When will that happen?
