The new sidewalk and bike path are well under way...

I know one person who's gonna be happy... the peanut man! Imagine how much time that sidewalk will shave off of his route... he'll be up and down whistlin all ovah the place!

This is great! really, really great!
I must say I was a 'doubting Thomas' when news of this first broke, but to see it coming together so quickly - yah, mon and big ups to all involved.
It will definitely change the experience of walking to/from town - for the good, and safety will be greatly improved.

Here's a thought - maybe people walking along the sidewalk will not be 'beeped' by route taxiis!! It makes sense right? Why beep a guy walking along the sidewalk, if he wanted a taxi he would be out on the road. Wouldn't that be great! I mean, think how many beeps will be eliminated if that happens. Getting 'beeped' 10 times a minute is annoying, so maybe these sidewalks will have a serendipitous noise reduction impact too.

Very exciting news. No more watching out for dips and holes when walking.
