  1. Thanks so much for the sidewalk improvements on 9th! I am the person who commented on this blog about that crossing a few months ago, and it is wonderful to see it happening. My three year old just got a bike, and being able to ride it safely along the sidewalk to the park is terrific. Thanks again!
