Pedestrians and sidewalks

A while back I shared thoughts about the city’s sidewalks. Earlier this month, I noticed some foot traffic along Bluemound Road and along Calhoun. In fact, one day I saw two people on the sidewalk between Barker and Calhoun Roads.
Another day I witnessed an older woman, using a walker, cross Bluemound Road in mid-block. Traffic slowed and then stopped for her as she made her way across the road.
Considering the left-hand turn signals at the intersections, it was probably wiser for her to cross mid-block than at the corner.
