Good things with Greater City: PVD

2009-0129_ice

Kudos to Jef and his crew at GC: PVD for a marked increase in posts on their blog, which focuses on, well, making Providence a greater city.

Jef is always all over lax snow and ice removal and other topics of note, like this:

If you had a difficult time navigating the icy streets this morning, imagine trying to do it with a bicycle. Well the Providence Bicycle Coalition wants to make biking in Providence as enjoyable and efficient as possible. Want to see what they’re all about, or better yet, get involved? They’re meeting next week. From the website:

Our next monthly advocacy meeting will be on February 5th at the offices of Red Five Sports Group (269 South Main Street, Providence). As always, the meeting will start @ 6pm and anyone interested in bicycle advocacy is encouraged to attend.

Thanks for the kind words Ian.

I should say, in regards to this photo, efforts were being made to remove the ice. This is outside Dominica Manor on Federal Hill. There was a worker out with salt while I was taking this picture. The major problem is up at the vanishing point of the photo, the Route 95 overpass. I watched two women helping each other up over the ice mounds that should be the sidewalk.
