This image comes courtesy a perambulating FrontBurnervian who found a mind-boggling scene in Uptown, which is supposedly the city’s most walkable neighborhood. Let’s walk through this one. The full-flavor image is below.
The construction eats up the sidewalk on McKinney Avenue, just before Fairmount Street. But! We’ve got scaffolding. Terrific. Keep the people walking. But then the contractors block the access with caution tape. And because that is apparently not enough caution tape, they put down construction stanchions in the traffic lane and then wrap those with more caution tape.
The second one must be for the cars. No way they’re getting past this.
