Pedestrians in Biloxi


Biloxi streets are designed in such a way that sidewalks are always right against the curbs and the widest they ever really get are about four feet. Besides obvious ADA concerns, it's just about impossible even for us nimble folks to get around on foot. The other day, while walking down Division Street, we all nearly tripped on old curb cuts. Then there's the placement of utility poles...

This place needs serious infrastructure redesign.

  1. whoa, unbelievable. reminds me of a city i was in last summer, with about 2-foot-wide sidewalks and a cable car that ran immediately next to it, usually driven by psychopaths. be careful down there, boys.
