Hey all. Our Saturday morning loop is going to be modified yet again.

Due to construction on Girard Ave bridge, the sidewalk on the south side of Girard Ave bridge is closed until further notice. Construction on the north side took around three months, so maybe this construction will also take three months.

Our new new route is going to have us going up on the right side of Sedgley Drive and continuing up past the tri-point intersection where the road becomes Poplar Drive. Cross Poplar Street, cross Girard, cross 33rd St, cross 33rd St again, cross Brewery Hill Drive, cross the river, right turn onto Lansdowne.

I don’t like this route. It has a lot of busy crossings. Particularly the second crossing of 33rd St, where southbound traffic turns west onto Girard and traffic on eastbound Girard turns north onto 33rd St is pretty horrible. Drivers treat it like a high speed highway merge even though there’s a traffic light there.

Here’s a map, https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=16DciqbOzHsGl6e9N2re1tsQyP1lBA_98&usp=sharing, which notes all the busy crossings. It’s best seen if you uncheck the other layers and zoom in. Please check it out so that you can get across all the streets safely and not get lost.
