New Pedestrian Median at Hamline and Pierce Butler in St Paul
The median looking South where it crosses the tracks at Hamline Avenue.
Pierce Butler is a really busy road where cars move north of 50 mph. It's also a bike route with sidewalks and houses alongside it. So its really important to have pedestrian safety infrastructure such as crosswalks and medians.
St Paul just installed one of these at the Hamline Avenue pedestrian bridge, where it crosses the railroad tracks leading into Bandana Square. And it looks nice!

Great!
Great to see. Now if only St. Paul would add another pedestrian bridge over the second set of tracks at or near Hamline...
At last
That's good news. I used to cross that road every day. It was a harrowing, death-defying experience every time.
