They also violate the 2 hour parking and are not ticketed usually on Channel Street.

According to the commercial leasing agent for Mercy Housing, the construction company found it would be difficult to install a pedestrian walkway because of the second floor overhang. To me, that makes it more important to install the walkway that would protect pedestrians from falling construction materials.

He also said they're supposed to install a pedestrian walkway next week...

Knowing contractors as I do they will typically do whatever is the minimum, even sometimes at the expense of public safety. The most obvious thing to me is to eliminate parking spaces (taking them from contractors) at the curb and extend out a proper walkway. Thanks for your comments and I can see that it might also be useful for me to contact the Mercy people.

There is still absolutely no pedestrian protection in the walkway. Every other construction site adjacent to this one has a covered pedestrian walkway. Entreaties to parties involved in the site have not resulted in the necessary remedy.

Finally! Today they are erecting a covered pedestrian barricade along Fourth St. on this site. Thanks for those who were responsible for getting action on tlhis.

I'm so glad that we could be of service by informing the appropriate City departments of the issue. Thank you for taking the time to report this. Let us know if there are any future issues with this property.
