During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding pedestrian safety along Main Street, particularly between Main Street and the Orange Avenue Bridge. A local business owner highlighted the hazardous conditions faced by pedestrians, specifically mentioning a visually impaired individual who walks daily with a seeing-eye dog.

The business owner pointed out that several sections of the sidewalk are obstructed, making it impossible for individuals to walk safely. He noted that two poles are blocking the sidewalk, forcing pedestrians into the street, which poses significant risks, especially when navigating the busy area near the bridge.

The speaker emphasized the urgency of addressing these safety issues, indicating that the situation has persisted for an extended period. He expressed his intention to document the problem with photographs to further illustrate the dangers faced by pedestrians in this area.

The discussion underscores the need for immediate action to improve accessibility and safety for all pedestrians, particularly those with disabilities, in the community.
