Sidewalks: Walk on the Wild Side
People used to stroll on sidewalks and take advantage of the local scenery. Here in Southern California and especially along the coastal cities, we had the good fortune of local promenades for those that enjoyed the opportunity to walk. In recent years all this has changed.
We no longer have sidewalks per se. Now they have become cycle walks, dog walks, skater walks and skateboard walks.
It’s time for people to unite to restore that once pleasure place, the sidewalks, and return it to it’s rightful owner--the walker. New laws are not necessary--just enforce what we have.
Statutory neglect must come to an end and the sidewalks restored to their original concept and meaning.
