Pedestrianist: Powell Street Sidewalk Widening
http://pedestrianist.blogspot.com/2010/12/powell-street-sidewalk-widening.html
Friday, December 17, 2010. Powell Street Sidewalk Widening. This Looks. AWESOME. Powell street is so thick with pedestrians, this space is badly needed.

That the project will be finished and open in April. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. People Sitting on Things that Aren't Chairs #3. Market Street Railway Blog.
