No commute today with Veteran's Day observence, but yesterday I had a very pleasant surprise: THEY TORE UP THE TRAIN TRACKS THAT CROSS THE STREET! They lead into an industrial area and haven't been used in a while. I think it may have been to bring that street up the the recommendations for marked bicycle routes. So far this year they have replaced a storm drain cover that had the grate parallel to the roadway, torn up the tracks, and repaved a section that was rather narrow, with very broken pavement. All I had to due was semi-retire and 2 of the 3 towns I commute through do major road improvements of the bike friendly type.
