I haven’t seen a news story or press release to say that the White Oak bike trail extension is now fully open, but what I have seen is bicyclists using the trail. So open it must be. And since the last update a month ago, there have been a couple of finishing touches. Observe:
If you zoom in, you can see bike riders in each of those photos. I have not yet had the opportunity to use the trail myself yet, but it’s on my to do list.
One more thing: All the construction equipment is gone, and I was wondering if there had been a finishing touch added to the Frasier Street entrance to the MKT Trail. Alas, that is still a no:
Maybe I can will it into existence someday.
Since I’m sure you’re all wondering what public works project in my neighborhood I’ll obsessively chronicle now that this one is finally in the books, well, it looks like work is about to begin on 11th Street. These signs appeared about a month ago:
And hopefully there will be some action on the A Tale Of Two Bridges project. So don’t you worry, there will be more pictures soon.
In other local neighborhood news, someone should check to see if Hell has indeed frozen over, as Fairview St. between Montrose Blvd. and Tuam has been repaved. For at least thirty years a trip down Fairview at normal speed has been very risky. Also the former locations of the Disco Kroger and Half Price Books (the Heart of Montrose) are sitting as enormous weedy lots.
