100 percent necessary in this area right now.A chain link garbage enclosure, finally DT will be beautiful again
Based on current bike laws, people in wheelchairs were probably expected to ride on the street with normal traffic.Wow, I guess we are basically starting from scatch again on the tree front.
Interesting to see the sidewalk in relation to the trees on the east side of the street - the trees are right in the middle of an already undersized, sidewalk. Can you imagine being in a mobility device trying to navigate that or even with a stroller. Can't even walk side by side.

It's so comical to hear about a war on cars when we built active transportation like that. But if we had to do that sidewalk properly and perhaps take the steet space from parked cars, it's bloody murder.
