the pittsburgh pedestrian experience

I was on time this morning, at least for my first bus. When I got to the Junction, I waited for a 41. When neither the D nor the G had come by 8:15am, I jumped on the 41B. This took me to Brookline Boulevard at West Liberty Avenue and I had to walk up the hill. This was nowhere near as difficult as last week’s experiment and I got to the office only a few minutes late.

One of the problems that I have encountered while relying heavily on walking as a mode of transportation is the condition (or lack) of sidewalks along my way. I feel that this problem should be corrected- that pedestrians should have access along all roads- and I suspect that I will be contacting 3-1-1 more often now that in the past.

The rest of the day involved carpooling and, my favorite activity, walking around Downtown.

Today’s tally:

Walked: 1.5 miles
Bussed: 1 trip
Carpooled: 5 trips
Drove: 0
