progress

The heat wave has broken. Sort of. the heat has broken. the humidity remains. That, the weather people claim, will be gone by Wednesday.

I had to wait for the rain to end before I could head out. It was cool and breezy. At one point, early on, I thought I might need sleeves. That was short lived. I walked up to Seneca, and then down Cherokee and over the bridge. I wanted to see if the pedestrian bridge was done. Musikfest is two weeks away. I think they will make it.  Hopefully they do a little more landscaping than gravel at the creek bank. That gravel will all just wash into the creek. Even rocks would be better. Plants will latch on and grow between them, and people will still be able to fish.

On Ohio Road, the bridge over the creek is also fixed at the entrance to Johnston park. This bridge was damaged last year during Musikfest. I like how they cleaned the rocks so that you can barely see the repair. Of course the top ledge gives it away.

I headed thru the historic area, and up the stairs by the Water Works. Then it was down Main, and up Lehigh to the Fahy Bridge.

Coming back on the bridge, I noticed they are finally putting up the rails on the staircase to Sand Island. It's about time. The sidewalk has been open since about March.

On the south side, the rails aren't up yet, but they are out. It will be great when this is done. This is such a great shortcut when walking.
