How Long Does it Take to Install a Basketball Hoop?

The City began installing a replacement basketball hoop in Franklin Park on February 21. Since then the park has been renamed Harriet Spanel Park with much deserved fanfare but as of March 27th, fully five weeks after they started the job, the hoop and backboard have still not been installed on the bare pole.

Since then the park has been renamed Harriet Spanel Park with much deserved fanfare but as of March 27th, fully five weeks after they started the job, the hoop and backboard have still not been installed on the bare pole. What’s the holdup?
