new developments on the trail

A short walk along the Yangjae Creek and Tan Creek trails revealed some interesting changes. Let me take you through them.

a sign along the Tan Creek for a walking-route detour

The left sign says no passage for anyone other than construction workers. The right sign gives us information about the construction going on, but I didn't see any construction anywhere. As of now, these signs are useless.

On the other side of the path, the left sign describes the detour. The right-hand sign apologizes for the difficulties caused by the construction (which, up to now, is nonexistent, so these signs must've just been put up).

a wider shot that includes the detour itself—a path I was already planning to take
(note how the person on the left is taking the detour while the person on the right is ignoring the signs)

another indicator for the detour, which I took because that ramp is part of my regular route when I do short walks

Heading back home. The dirt pile is new and interesting. I'm used to seeing all of this completely clear.

The roadway ahead is a bridge. Off to the side, I'd normally be able to see down to the creek, but now, it's all dirt.

Meanwhile, the walking path that had been buried under a mass of muddy silt has been cleared.

I walked this stretch.

But there is a pile of dirt that the very end. I gingerly stepped around it on the left.

Farther down the Tan Creek path, that garbage pile is now gone, replaced by this dumpster.

See? No more garbage. Will there ever be grass again?

I have no clue as to what gets thoroughly done and what gets done in a half-assed way. Some projects seem to be completed in frustratingly slow stages. Others get done right away and completely. Is there any rhyme or reason to it? I honestly don't know. The mysteries of a big city. The post-flood silt is there; the silt remains; the silt is suddenly gone or pushed aside.
