For those of you who commute to work by foot or bike on Washington Street, things are about to get a little safer.  The City has decided to put a pedestrian refuge island at Seventh and Washington, which will make it easier to cross this sometimes busy street.  The work should be completed by September 2009.

I know that several citizens have spoken out about this so I want to make sure everyone knows that you can have an impact on this community by voicing your concerns to your City Council rep.
