I think the paving job is temporary, but for a while which is why they need the lines. The manholes have to be at the height for the finished street, but it would seem what would a few more inches of asphalt matter to tear off later. Perhaps there is another reason like the level of the curbs but it would seem that you could still put a hump in the street so the manholes don't stick up. I don't know about NJ, but in NY you have to give them prior warning. Let's send a letter into the city about the condition and then if anyone damages their cars there is advance notice. > Jack > Yahoo!
