Landscape Buffer?

Not sure whats going on North and South of the Avenue "G" viaduct. Â I am guessing its a new landscape buffer for the neighborhood next to the CN and UP yards.

There are plans to add a recreation trail from the Ave G viaduct down to the skate park at the west end of the Broadway viaduct.

On a related matter, Foster said work began this week on construction of a trail along North 13th Street that will provide more convenient access from the Avenue G viaduct to the Broadway skateboard park. That should be done next summer, he added.

Not really. Â I see a lot of homeless over there, but more often than not its kids playing in the street. Â Anything to help improve the neighborhood will be great.

Yes it is! Â I think they are (or lets hope they are) trying to improve the image of that part of town. Â The new Ave G and Ave G viaduct have really made that little stretch look cleaned up.
