Sidewalks Come to 12th Street

Few people are committed to an issue like my friend Myron and his zest for sidewalks on 12th Street in Seminole Heights, just south of Sligh Avenue.

For those unfamiliar with 12th Street south of Sligh, it's a north-south neighborhood street without stop signs -- so it's popular for speeding cars who want a shortcut.

It's also very popular with pedestrians, dog-walkers and bicyclists.

Myron has dug in his heels and lobbied the city tirelessly for sidewalks on 12th.

And by the look of these photos, Myron's efforts have paid off.
