Seaside is excited to announce the beginning of a new Post Office Plaza. It is part of the vision of Seaside founders, Robert and Daryl Davis.

“The plaza is the first project leading to the future construction of the Krier Tower,” said George Calvi, Seaside Director of Development, “and should take about six months to complete.”

Located at the southern end of Seaside Avenue, the plaza will house the Seaside Post Office as well as seven new public restrooms and additional bike parking.

Things were going well until the 2nd lift to about 4 feet. A jack slipped out and the post office hit the ground with an earth-shaking boom felt all over Seaside, and although it held together it had a few cracks from bottom to top. Luckily no one was hurt.

Not exactly sure how they thought that jacking it up by one 2x12 running down the side was a good idea. There should have been supports under the whole structure that the jacks lifted and not by one board on the end. You can see in the first picture that one of the jacks isn't even lifting straight up and is angled out.

Poorly planned. Poorly executed. Hope the damage isn't too severe.
