Construction in the pedestrian district continues with visible progress along the main arterial route of Ponce de leon Boulevard. After many months of construction, and seemingly months of no activity, trees have been planted recently and dirt has been filled in the median areas. The road surface has been scraped in preparation for a re-paving. Some estimates predict construction will be finished in August.
The end result is a great improvement for pedestrians. With extended curbs and generous medians at every intersection, Ponce de Leon Boulevard will be a great example of how the city is evolving as an inviting, pedestrian-friendly, easily accessible destination.
Now, community leaders must find a way to improve the sidewalks on Miracle Mile. After many years of discussions, haggling and non-action -- it's about time for action. Where is our leadership?
