Forty neighbors spent a Saturday morning walking Alder Street with clipboards, marking every bench, broken curb and empty lot they passed.
What came back was a map the city has never had: where people actually cross, where they wait for the bus, and where they avoid walking after dark.
What we heard most
Shade. Almost every group flagged the stretch between Fourth and Ninth, where there is not a single tree on the south side of the street.

The map of crossings is eye-opening. Can we get a printed copy for the senior center?

Count me in for the next walk. The corner at Sixth needs a crosswalk badly.
