But it ends on East Ponce further from Downtown than Church Street. Another route to consider is heading into the park by the pool, then cutting through the cemetery.

Ever considered a scooter? I assume you would not have to pay for parking and the speed issue wouldn’t be a factor on Church St.

There is a fair bit of trash (even though it is a nice and rather expensive neighborhood) and there is little shade. I have to admit that when I let myself drive the 1 mile to work (ridiculous I know) it is so nice and cool in my air conditioned car but it expensive because I end up paying to park ;) And I feel like a bit of a jerk knowing I should have walked.

I really wish I had the option of biking b/c it would be faster, but I feel like I am risking my life on Church Street and am not brave enough to do it. I feel like unless you are in race shape you are risking life and limb to ride a bike on Church.

I would love to see all non-car options improved and would love to have some more pleasant choices.

I’d like to see more street mailboxes but I’m sure that won’t happen given the Post Offices’s financial situation. It just always seems so silly, when one has missed the daily mail delivery but needs to get a postmark that day, to drive over to the Post Office.
