Family Walks a Block to City Museum

August 9, 2011 Downtown 8 Comments

On July 28th I posted about traffic heading to City Museum was backing up onto Washington Ave (Traffic Backup at Noon). The next day I noticed traffic was even worse:

ABOVE: A line of cars waiting to turn right onto 16th

The original traffic jam was on Friday July 15th, the one above was Friday July 29th.  By Monday August 1st the situation was very different.

No traffic but a family of four parked in the parking lot to the east of the Ely Walker building and walked a block north to City Museum. Nice. Despite what some may think, it is safe to walk downtown without getting mugged or shot.

    I hope they didn’t leave any valuables in plain view.

    It is amazing…..I ride my bike regularly in and out of downtown to the South Side at all times of the night………I guess I am lucky to be alive per most people’s impression of our city.

    I don’t know about the mugging part but it seems that the panhandling never stops. ” I just need $.35 to catch the bus. Can you help me out with any change?”
    If we could stop a lot of this it would not put such a negative light on downtown as well.
