they should put a sidewalk there..it will be used more! P.A punk hater...you can drive around in your scooter~

Well this is just me maybe talking out my you-know-what but if the city would allow that parcel of land , and the "park" across from it for light industrial, there would be all kinds of businesses to draw taxes from.
Instead they are forging ahead with the space along marquis, saying that they can't use that space in question because that's where they dump their snow. Hello. Could you not dump your snow on Marquis, or some other huge empty tract of land or hey along the river by the water treatment plant??

wait till winter, it just gets worse.

When they do put a sidewalk in, it will only be wide enough for one person and look like a goat path in a year

Yes, yes, yes! I have been advocating for this for years. I have written to city councillors and the mayor and sent photos. So far nothing. I've walked to SIAST for over 20 years on that bit of road and nothing has changed! Pedestrians have rights too.

We also need a finished sidewalk on 10th Ave. from SIAST north! Same issue - lots of walkers, students, children etc and only a partial sidewalk.

I don't like reading alot of the stuff on here cause it really just annoys me with some of the idiots (sorry) that write stuff. But this is one thing I couldn't agree more with!

I think that if the city were to build and maintain sidewalks it would give people the opportunity to walk more. But if the sidewalks are nonexistent or poorly maintained walking becomes dangerous. I recall many winters were I would have walked more but the sidewalks were covered in snow and the intersections had large piles between the sidewalk and the street so it was downright dangerous to walk. In this day and age with all the emphasis on physical fitness it is sad to see that the city cannot make it easier and safer for people to get out and walk more.

Yes we need sidewalks, but the rotary trail is not even complete yet. I think a new bridge at this time is needed more than a sidewalk along there. I have ridden my bike along there at high speed even at night and there is a decent dirt path. (made most likely from foot traffic).

One day, yes it would be nice to have a sidewalk there, but the current situation does not prevent you from walking there....dirt is softer too, so maybe less shin splints ;)
