How did the family cross the road?

Very carefully.

Walks in the neighborhood are great, especially with this cool weather we've been having, but I wish the roads were more pedestrian-friendly. Brenda and I (and the baby, of course) are often out walking and one of our favorite areas to walk to is in the vicinity of Congress, Austin St. and Oakland St. To get their from our house requires crossing both Elm and Locust at Congress. These intersections are not good: Elm is wide, often busy, and without a cross walk. Locust is narrow enough, but also lacks a cross walk. I'd like to see better sidewalks in general, but on Congress street, where there is plenty of foot traffic it would seem a priority to create a better walking experience by improving the sidewalks and adding crosswalks.
