This Would Be Fun

Happened upon this procession down the three block street of our little island in Paris, l'Ile St. Louis, and thought then that Colington Road needs someone to take the big step in such a fun manner.

So, adventuresome bride & groom, get married at Colington United Methodist Church, right there at glorious church curve. And then process to the fire station where you get a ride to Colington Cafe or Blue Crab or any one of the lovely eateries on our beloved road for a grand reception. Or process the entire way, pick up well wishers along the route.

Traffic gets stopped, folks get happy, our point is delivered in a clever way. We need a multi-use path.

Just saying, for the 1000th time.

Much rather have a happy wedding procession stir up a traffic jam than a casualty or, sadly, a fatality. And indeed traffic would be tied up.

It would be interesting to have a head count of bikes, okay wheel count, strollers (yes I have more than once seen a mom, using a high end stroller too, walking baby along the shoulder), walkers, joggers that use this path daily.

We almost always see at least one (and more often several) on that list when we're leaving and coming back onto the island and that is an observation from one car at one point in time.

Bobby Outten tells us that the road is so old that there is no easement. Hence the crazy cost estimate of $40 million. You can build a whole new road for $40. So do that and let the old road be the multi-use path.
