I forgot to mention another key element of Phase II of the city’s sidewalk plan: eight new faux-brick crosswalks – like the one currently across Ponce at E. Courthouse Square – installed across the city.

I’m not sure of they’re specific locations yet, as the report just says they’ll be at “8 intersections with substantial pedestrian traffic”, but I hope one is planned for the Ponce crosswalk near Taqueria del Sol.  I’m forever challenging drivers to stop for me there…and only ever with modest success.
