Why would your neighbors protest? Noise?

Could be...
One neighbor refused to sign off because he didn't want to loose a street parking spot, and because of the noise.

Both are invalid reasons...
We will be adding an additional parking spot, and all the work will be done during the day during normal working hours...

But hey, invalid or not he can still complain to the city.
