My street is now OPEN!!! To bike and foot traffic, at least. Several blocks have been closed since September 13th for sewer repairs, creating a huge detour for anyone wanting to walk or bike (or drive) in and out of the neighborhood. There were basically giant cement tubes and machines blocking the sidewalks and piles of dirt everywhere. Another project had my neighborhood blocked up between May and late July.
Ahhhh look at that beautiful sight...so nice to walk rather than bike detouring onto less friendly streets!
