West Ave Update

There have been a few minor improvements to the pedestrian crossings along West Ave. There are a few more 'Sidewalk Closed' signs posted along the east side and an opening in a barricade at Pine St, but that's about it.

If one is an ambulatory adult confident in their ability to cross a busy street, it can be negotiated with some difficulty, but for anyone else - children, the elderly or disabled, it remains virtually impassible.

Schools are in session so the volume of pedestrian and bicyclist traffic has increased significantly. And Oktoberfest will be here in a few weeks with additional traffic of all types.

If we're lucky, nobody will be hurt or killed during construction but in the mean time, hundreds of people are unable to cross between Jackson St and La Crosse St.
