Both Observations have Plus and Minus.
I noticed the woman walking last night returning home from a dinner in
Portland. I had seen a person or two walking on the Sidewalk further east
on WCD. I would suppose someone riding a bicycle with proper reflective
clothing and working lights would be safer on WCD at night versus the woman
walking right along but wearing dark colored clothes, no kind of reflective
anything.
The slush on the upstream Sidewalk of both Bridges on Cumberland Street, is
probably frozen rock solid right now if it is still there. I wonder if a
cleaned off Sidewalk with possible Sheens of refrozen melted water is safer
or more slippery then walking on rough, frozen ankle twisting slush ?
Before joining the WSMAC, I probably would never given notice to these two
Issues.
But, now, I am seeing with different eyes.

That's a great idea Dennis. I don't know the schedules and other aspects
regarding street and/or sidewalk plows. That might be something worth
looking into.
As for the woman in the street - was she unable to utilize the sidewalk,
thus making her walk next to the curb? Again, something to look into.

Thursday night heading West on WCD, turning Right to Mechanic Street, I
noticed a woman in Brown and black clothes with large shoulder bag, walking
East facing West bound traffic on WCD, in street, next to curb, not on
sidewalk.
This morning Friday, driving South down Cumberland Street, a P / S Plow
was also first in line, cleaning up Slush on Cumberland Street. The Mush
flew onto the Sidewalk on both Bridges for the Hydro Canal and the
Presumpscot River..
Just wonder if, future, plowing of that section of Cumberland Street,
along both Bridges, could be followed up by a sidewalk plow to remove the
Slush before it freezes on the upstream Sidewalk.
Thank You,
