Changes in process at Monticello this year caught me unawares so I wasn’t on the mountain for the naturalization, the national birthday party or Dave Matthews talk. Bicycled up after all the guests had departed. Walked around the garden.

At risk
June 22, 2010 the Charlottesville Planning Commission added Franklin Street to the City’s sidewalk priority list. Franklin is one of twelve North South pedestrian paths across the railroad. These railroad crossings are of particular interest because they focus vehicle and pedestrian activity in a confined area.
Since June 2010 the bike/ped facilities at Meade Avenue/Carlton Road, at 1st Street SE, at Shamrock Road and at JPA have been upgraded.
Pedestrians on Franklin Street are left to their own devices.
Even though there are straightforward fixes available.

This time of year Frank points out that the hours of daylight are decreasing… “it’ll be winter soon.”
UV degradation
