This photo set focuses exclusively on one block of the Cultural Trail: Walnut St. between Senate Ave. and Capitol Ave. This block is unusual in that the entire road bed has been replaced by the Cultural Trail. I've been told that this is to be a shared vehicle and trail space, as businesses around Walnut St. require access to Walnut St. for trucks, but that signage will attempt to limit unnecessary vehicles on the trail.
Looking East on Walnut St. at Senate Ave.
Looking East at the inlaid brick pattern.
Looking East at the Cultural Trail-standard lamp posts.
Looking East at the intersection with Roanoke St. (an alley).
What was once a sidewalk along Zesco Products'
building is now a raised bed of greenery.
Looking Southwest from the intersection of Walnut St. and Capitol Ave.
For comparison, earlier construction photos of this area -- with the sidewalks and road bed completely removed -- are available
here.
