311 complaint of the day: For the love of God, GBH, turn off your damn sprinklers

Wet sidewalk along GBH building

A soaked resident filed a 311 complaint about the water feature that GBH is now running nightly along the sidewalk outside its studios at Guest and Market streets in Brighton:

Can we please get GBH to not point their sprinklers at the sidewalk? Just trying to get home from work without getting soaked. The sprinklers rotate directly into the street. It forces pedestrians to walk into the road or get absolutely blasted by water. Very unpleasant.

Not wanting to be sprayed by sprinklers makes you a grouch?

Often the sweep angle can be adjusted with a simple twist, or a flathead screwdriver. Probably no one has bothered to calibrate the sweep angle, but a bit of street vigilantism could probably accomplish it within minutes.

The real problem though is why water at night, just gonna encourage powdery mildew.... dawn and dusk is better.

Dawn is when to water - low wind, sun will burn off what isn’t absorbed, etc

tsk tsk.. looks like GBH needs to call Richard Trethewey or one of the guys from This Old House to come over and adjust these.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Not so much the best television on television anymore. At least to passers by. Sesame Street it is no longer.

The CEOs must all be off on their complimentary Viking Cruises basking in the wisdom of Thorvald the Nordic Bore while the self help gurus run the show.

So the little frat boy will run over it with his SUV?

We all know why he's still alive after that stunt.
