Where the Sidewalk Ends

Tuesday, June 19, 2018

In the sweltering heat of Tuesday afternoon, no one is frying an egg on the sidewalk on the northwest corner of Franklin and Indiana streets. Instead, crews spent the day tearing out the curbs and paving bricks of the bump-out area at the busy downtown Greencastle intersection. Work will continue on Wednesday as part of the city’s sidewalk program.

I just this week walked on this area when going to Don Pablo's for a Father's Day dinner with family and didn't notice any problems with the area.

Can someone please explain ?

Talked to folks at senior center and barber shop and all said there was nothing wrong with sidewalk that was there. Interesting huh.

Weren't they just installed within several years ago?

Who are the "crews"? Who decided this needed fixing and who is paying for it? Another solution in search of a problem.

Looks to me they are making the intersection narrower and narrower. They were just redone, why tear them up when bigger isn't always better?
