When I woke up this morning and saw some sun and checked the temperature I decided I had to get out for a little bit before spending the rest of the day behind the computer. So I grabbed my bike and camera and rode down to Front Street to check out the (now open) road where the pedestrian mall was. They did a nice job on the design and I do believe the district will take off. There was a lot of places to lock my bike but my one gripe would be that it doesn't look like there will be dedicated bike lanes - the street is quite narrow. I know this should slow traffic but I also know how impatient drivers are with bikes - and even though it will only save them a matter of seconds they will try to squeeze by.
It feels so different down here - but it also feels so much more open.
I love being able to get out on my favorite whip(instead of the MTB).
The Falls Theater
Parking deck renovations.
What can be.
The use of brick is a nice touch.
So I am glad they have these lanes down by HiHo/Craft Beer Bar/The Sheraton and all that - its just a little strange that they will end at the new part. Hopefully they will eventually be extended in the other direction though - down past the Gorge.
