Some days I walk from my house down to the barricade that is at the end of the pedestrian plaza. Round trip it is two miles and mostly all uphill on the way home. My favorite coffee shop, Java Man, is just out of sight on the right and open for take out.
It is rare you would see this street empty at any time of the day. These days one must be on the look out for an increase in pedestrians, joggers, dog walkers and bicycle riders when driving anywhere.
