Member from Audience, Alice Fenton talked about a significant need for a crosswalk at Bolivar and
Lawrence Street. She said they had been promised one years ago. Also the Lawrence Street
sidewalk parking is dangerous.
Kevin was going to see if he could find out if this was approved. We also talked about the
sidewalk under the train bridge as being too narrow for a baby carriage.
