Last week, we posted about the need for a crosswalk on 15th Ave next to Volunteer Park. How is a crosswalk born in Seattle?, we asked.

We got answers. For example…

Start by consulting José Cervantes, the coordinator of our Neighborhood Service Center (aka “Little City Hall”) in the Capitol Hill Library ([email protected], 206-684-4574). He can also connect you with sources of City funds to pay for a crosswalk as your own little project (though I think you’ve just missed this year’s deadline).

We weren’t really thinking beyond the immediate purpose of bringing up a potential neighborhood issue. We didn’t think about having to do something with the answer. We’re just a widdle neighborhood Blog. We’re not the damn mayor. So, are we supposed to call this guy now? Should we organize a neighborhood group only to flake out and let it slowly disintegrate.

To be very, very honest with you, we can’t promise much more than the posts on this Blog. This is what we do. If you are reading this and thinking we’re going to get anything done, you might want to check out the Rainbow Grocery saga — this Blog is nothing without an offline component. Namely, you. Let us know how this Cervantes fella responds.
