Locust Street Crossing Gets "Improved"
In an effort to make a good situation better, on New Year's Day the Schuylkill River Park Alliance (SRPA) set out to make the Locust Street crossing a smoother experience. SRPA Board members Perry Benson and Russell Meddin heaved, dumped and spread sand (donated by Schuylkill River Development Corp.) over the large bluestone rocks between the crossing paving and the trail. They also filled in a large puddle on the street side of the tracks. Hopefully, this "patch" will hold until we can convince the City and CSX to find a way to put down some temporary paving. The hitch is that the alignment of the Locust Street crossing is not on City property and some kind of agreement needs to be struck before the City will put down temporary paving. Let us know what you think of the smoother surface!
