UPDATE

| Soon the direct path to the promenade will be complete. |
| A crosswalk and stop sign would make a wonderful addition so our neighbors could cross the street safely. |
| Coler Administration has had a contractor repairing many damaged and dangerous sidewalks and paths today. Apparently the word got out and the path was being prepared!! What a great result to a long-standing problem. |
 |
This wonderful walk will now be accessible to all!!
