WDI in the house!
All the permits from yesterday and today are now posted. All 40 permits yesterday were from Buena Vista Construction. They were for a bunch of food locations in AK, DHS and Epcot as well as permits for a bunch of hotels. There were a couple more hotel permits today from other contractors that showed the work area as the entire hotel property.

Three business days in a row with no permits, that is unusual.

That's very rare. Maybe they're piling up on someone's desk and there will be 50 one day. That happened to me a few times.....so annoying.
Finally some permits today, but only three and nothing exciting.
Couple interesting permits today.
This one is called the Pylon Protection Project and appears to be for the installation of concrete bollards around the monorail pylons:
Polynesian, Grand Floridian, Contemporary, North Service Area, Epcot, EC121, EC272, TTC - Cast in place concrete and bollards
There are also a series of permits from one contractor that cover the entire property for Caribbean Beach, Coronado Springs, Wilderness Lodge, Port Orleans French Quarter and parks of AK Lodge. No idea what these are for.

I wonder if they got some sort of "terrorism grant", because they're adding bollards to a LOT of pylons this time. A couple years ago, when I was still doing permits, they added them around a lot of the pylons, like on the Epcot loop (by roads and in parking lot) and at the Poly. Seems like a lot of money to protect the pylons, when they've been safe for 40+ years.

I either missed that, or my memory is continuing to fail. But yeah, that could have something to do with it

Ah, interesting. And it appears they had installed the other pylons I was referring to just before then. So more than a couple years ago (2010).

Oh. Right.
Interesting group of infrastructure permits today. 16 permits covering over 100 locations in parks and resorts for "AT&T Back of House Installation", contractor is Communication Technology Services. Appears to be some sort of telecom work.

I wonder if it's cell repeaters. On my last trip our AT&T service was awful.

I'm thinking more along the lines of their in-house phone system 100 locations would be a lot for cell repeaters. They just need a couple more towers for that.
