The Key to Temescal

Yes, it's a crosswalk! OK, there are a bunch of other things going on in Temescal that make its revitalization possible. But, how would you get there without crossing the street? This signalized crosswalk isn't that far from the main intersection of 51st and Telegraph. It tames the huge arterial. It connects the parking lot with the row of older shops at the other end (where the cool stuff is). From this corner you have a great view of the buildings. Go ahead, strut across the crosswalk, stroll along the wide sidewalks, use the outdoor benches, and observe the urban scene.
