A reader sent in this photo of crews this morning sweeping the sand and salt (and glass and poop and puke…) from the sidewalk on the Broadway Bridge over Route 95. A sure sign of spring and Yay! pedestrian infrastructure getting attention!

How do you solve a problem like Atwells?
The main problem of course is, people keep getting hit by cars on the Avenue. There are perhaps two ways to stop this, enforcement and infrastructure.
I wonder whether all the bridges got equal pedestrian attention or if Broadway got more. I noticed that when people complained about the snow not getting removed, that Broadway did finally get some (rather poor) attention, while some of the other bridges, like Broad or Westminster, got none at all.
It’s a good step, definitely.
