Gap in the sidewalk near 9/11 Memorial might get fixed in May

[EasyRider]

When I passed by yesterday evening on the way home, there were four or five guys in some sort of uniforms, examining the gap and conferring about it.

Keeping my fingers crossed that we’ll have ramps installed on the sidewalk in May. Thanks to Chris for all the work to identify who owned the sidewalk.

Keeping my fingers crossed as well, thanks for carrying it (hopefully) over the finish line.

Oh also, if I’m reading some other documentation correctly, when the “Secure Access Lane” project wraps up in 2018, we’ll be able to access the 27 trail without the dangerous bollard slalom via a new trail connection directly from the stub of the Pike.

So this just raises more questions. Is the eastern extension of the 110 Trail going to get built now? (note that it doesn’t have the “to be completed by others” designation, like the Boundary Channel Drive interchange trail (wow, that needs a new name) does).

Will the “Pentagon Employee Bike Routes” be closed to non-Pentagon employees?

And I was just starting to get good at the bollard slalom. Rolled through it yesterday w/o putting a foot down. (No, I won’t really miss it.)

You’ve got at least a year to enjoy your prowess.

Come to Frankfurt, they’ve gone nuts with trail obstructions to practice with.

Well there were lots and lots of traffic cones surrounding the sidewalk “cut offs” at both ends tonight. Kind of funny given that the cut offs and gravel have been there for a couple of years with no signage or repair.

There was a dude riding a jackhammer there when I passed by earlier. I wonder if there are carbon models.

Jackhammering is complete and cones are up around the section of sidewalk removed. I wasn’t expecting something to start happening so soon.

I love how we’ve gone from 7+ years of ¯_(ツ)_/¯ to “this treacherous hazard requires 12 awareness cones”.

Concrete was poured yesterday. Still a bit wet this morning. It looks like all the gravel was swept as well.
