To set the tone, We shared this postcard we found .. It shows a futuristic view of our tiny town of Richmond.. as envisioned in the early 1900’s . The funny thing is we found this postcard while looking through an antigue show in Pennsylvania.
Today we had 8 citizens broken into 3 groups looking at sidewalks, crosswalks and.. uh.. something else..
it was a 90 degree and humid day.. so not many walkers
d iane and I were on the crosswalk team.. we checked all 9 crosswalks in town. Honestly, I’d never spent much time looking at these crosswalks. I was impressed that we had so many warning signs, blinking lights etc.. That said, we did find a bunch of things that need addressing. The biggest issue was that paint in the most used crosswalks needed redoing..
Here are some pictures of the stuff we saw.
We all gathered to compare notes afterwards. W’er collating the results to give guidance to our town planners who are applying for some grants.
We are doing another one of these walk next Sunday in our own little corner of town.
I love helping out with stuff like this
nite all, nite sam
