Frustrated but Happy

When they started paving the footpaths last winter, I was disappointed to see no space left for trees and shrubs on the main routes. Over the past two weeks, they’ve dug out the blocks in the middle of the wider paths and set up the borders for plants in the future.

I can’t believe that something this simple is not taken into account the first time round. I am happy however that it wasn’t overlooked altogether.

Update III

Looking fuller and more like a typical Kuwaiti suburb, Google Earth have updated again recently and the above is the current view. No new roads are visible, which means the next update will look much more complete. There are signs of the preliminary work done on the main routes.

If you’re interested in how it looked before, click here for how it looked in March 2007; and here for February 2009.

I’m pleased to say that the initial reaction to the change has been great. I’ve had many messages from people interested in submitting notices. The statistics speak for themselves, the highest since I started Mangaf.net.
