Misaligned Sidewalk on Forbes Avenue

Viewing west on Forbes Avenue across the entrance to the Birmingham Bridge one can see the logic of moving the sidewalk to line up with the existing crosswalks and existing sidewalk on Forbes. Note that in these cases the pedestrian signs are in the correct locations.

Beyond the Birmingham Bridge entrance one can see the unmarked entrance to Brady Street shown with cars exiting here. Brady Street itself is a one block long curving street that passes under the Birmingham Bridge and is the only connection between Forbes Avenue and Second Avenue for more than a mile east or west on Forbes Avenue. Without this path, the next best access to the Trail is a makeshift wooden ramp off of Second Avenue at the foot of Bates Street a mile east, or a trip to Grant Street more than a mile and a half west.
