The Steamtown Marathon happened yesterday in Scranton. There were quite a few runners and spectators. This sidewalk however, which is on a major road through Scranton, did not give access to spectators. It seems that it was more important for the local politicians and police to allow car dealers to ILLEGALLY park on the sidewalk. It is not like they have to enact laws to protect pedestrians, those laws ARE on the books already. We just need the police to enforce the laws. If you don't mind walking in the street while cars park on the sidewalk, then get out and walk or run a bit. If it bothers you, that you and school kids (this is 1 block from Prep), then still go for a walk or run, but when you get back home or while along the route. Monday, October 14, 2013
