Sidewalks Are Constantly Abused

ABOVE: Sign consumes much of sidewalk along Olive between 14th & 15th

Many see the public sidewalk as wasted space where they can do as they please. Â Presumably that is the case of this for lease sign I spotted early yesterday morning. Hopefully the St. Louis Streets Dept didn’t grant them a permit to place this sign on the sidewalk. Â Yes, the sidewalk is still passable but such things greatly reduce the pedestrian experience. Â We do need more pedestrians in the city but we need to stop giving people reasons not to walk.

  Yes, the signs dealing with the closure of the Compton bridge are a problem on Grand & Chouteau sidewalks.
