    How about just building some stairs?

    Because it’s the details that make a neighborhood worth being proud of and worth living in.

    The city and school district won’t let you put just anything up.

    I hope this will fix the walk signal. It is spotty, slow and I’m not sure the button does anything – luckily there is usually a car around to trigger the signal.

    Mike. I’m with you. It’s just a set of steps you know concrete with 2inch pipe hand rail with some flowers along side. It’s not a national monument.

Sorry, comment time is over.
