Reconstructing a creek bed. Glenview Illinois. August 2010.
Originally uploaded by Eddie from Chicago
I took this photo this past August, at a local construction project site in north suburban Glenview Illinois.
Along the east side of the very curvy Ravine Way Drive roadway in north suburban Glenview Illinois, is a very shallow inland creek.
This waterway was dammed up further upstream, so that the construction crew could reconstruct the creek bed for better drainage, and to assist the local waterfowl and wildlife residing along the creek.
I spotted this unique dump truck equipped with bulldozer tracks at tyhe construction site. I grew up in Chicago, and have never seen one of these machines up close. No, Not even during the infamous Blizzard of 1979.
One normally associates machines like this with places like Alaska, or the Canadian Rockies.
