City cleaning up stairs and paths
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008
Thanks to some recent city improvement efforts, walking around town is about to get easier. On a recent hike from Downtown to Mt. Adams, we spied these signs near the steps and walkway over Columbia Parkway up to the east side of Mt. Adams.
It’s much simpler to get out of the car and get somewhere by foot or by bike if the paths are cleared of overgrowth and occasionally patched. We definitely appreciate the city being attentive to the walkways around downtown.
By the way, the walk from Downtown to Mt. Adams is steep, but the view from the top is great and there are plenty of places to stop for a rest and reward yourself with a drink or an ice cream. Get out and get some fresh air this summer, but leave the car in the garage.

You really don’t realise how great these bits of ped infrastructure are until you use them. Sadly, most people don’t even think about walking a direct route over hills & valleys and, instead, just drive around them.
