Car Free in CT - Missing CU

I gave CU props in this recent post to my new Connecticut blog outlet.

Currently building character and building up a bit thicker skin. Missing CU.

Curb Cuts


I hear tell that it's possible to get all the way through East to West on my common commute, which is Main Street, through the fountain, and across to White STreet to get under the viaduct. I was really pleased to see the curb cuts -- then less pleased to see that now that they've torn up the pavement, all pains have been taken to keep automobiles from unkind bumps with extra asphalt, but we've got the sliced concrete to deal with, per the picture. So be careful out there!
Also be mindful that the driver of the yellow cab 702 is worth a little extra caution; I was going past Urbana High School parking lot and the driver waited for me... until I got there, and then pulled right out in front of me so yes, I had to brake. I called their dispatch & let 'em know that pulling out in front of vehicles is bad for business.
Now it's off to the bike project to see what Saturday brings.
