We can learn a lot be merely observing nature around us! Jody and Mariah visited the trailhead of what we like to call "Beargrass Alley," which is nearly a mile long, traveling in a straight line from Finzer St. to Goss Ave, with the parking lot of Logan Street Market serving as a halfway point!
Jody points out the patch of mud on the access point to the sidewalk which has been building up for years. This could prohibit the use of the sidewalk for a wheelchair user, or someone who is disabled. The city could install means to keep the sidewalk clear while respecting where rainwater tends to build up fairly easily.
Mariah demonstrates that you can look at where the leaves build up on the concrete and see the path traffic is taking through the alley. You can see all the unused and wasted space that could otherwise be helping and benefiting the residents of the neighborhood.
