Looking down on Columbia, at left we see the new public space and its planters in place. Middle bottom is Skyline’s parking garage exit. Starting just across Columbia from it is the new paved alley that goes through to Marion Street and then on to Madison.
That alley will, once opened to traffic (not yet!), serve as a way of bypassing the steep cobblestones of Columbia Street when it gets slippery. Marion is paved and less steep. The sightlines when turning downhill onto Columbia make it difficult to see cars coming uphill or jaywalkers.
