Church and 30th St. San Francisco MUNI Construction from Ken Murphy on Vimeo.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm a sucker for time-lapse video, so I apologize in advance if you are sick of seeing this stuff.  That said, the intersection of 30th and Church (on the J Church line) was replaced over the weekend (you can read more about it over at Streetsblog) and a resident took the initiative to film it:

This is a time-lapse video showing the replacement of the MUNI tracks in front of my house. Demolition began on the evening of Friday, October 8, and work continued around the clock until early in the morning of Tuesday, October 12. The MUNI folks were nice enough to distribute earplugs to those of us in the immediate vicinity.

The video probably could have been sped up a little, but it gets more interesting around 3:30 when they start laying down track and 9:30 when they cement it over.  Also, I know they are completely separate projects, but watching local construction crews power through a $3m project in four and a half days makes me wonder why we cannot tackle the Dolores Park renovation with comparable hustle.  18 months is bullshit.  I need to do important things like get drunk in public and yell.
