Because indeed it has. While not super significant at this point because of the other priorities, between Route 142 and Route 3 cutting has started, 142 at Otis, Middle and then Rt 3 and 116 started around the first week of August, and the NHV yard has been cleared of any trees over a ~half inch in prep for brush spray for about a month now. Over towards east of the diamond work had started again before reassignment of the brush cutting machine the first week of July and is not exactly that of the three month old picture posted above; That stuff just to the right and to the points of the interchange switch points has been cut.
116 to Parker is cleared and needs weed spray beyond were trees had come down in the July 7 storm.
Its going on, just lots of other things to manage with crews at this point, so brush is a busy work item or as crews are passing through to Lancaster work. But ultimately you need to get the brush thinned to make the machines efficient as they don't like the smaller stuff and mulchers aren't really appropriate for the CQ downtown areas so its a lot of hand cut.
