Description

The board walk style sidewalks are great, but they blend in with the center lane. There are spots where it is actually painted to look like it blends together (see attached image). Normally people on the bridge are looking out at the city and they are not looking down at the ground.

My sister walked right off the edge and hurt her leg badly while visiting in July. Just yesterday, we came off the elevator from Cumberland Park and didn't realize there was a drop down. I almost walked off the sidewalk with my baby in my arms. For this reason, I am reporting this issue and requesting something be done.

Please paint a yellow strip or something along those lines down the edge of the sidewalk. An expensive suggestion is to make the edge a gradual descent, like a slope.
