We are all excited about the new overpass

On November 19th, there will be a new freeway on/offramp added to I-10 for Twin Peaks Road. This road runs right through our neighborhood, and while that may sound like a bad thing, we are very excited for this to happen. Until now, we have had to go about 4 miles to get to the nearest freeway ramp which is sometimes a real inconvenience. Now, we will have one about a quarter of a mile away. There was a dedication for the ramp held last Saturday and they opened it for people to walk and bike on. So we got all the bikes ready and rode to it. It felt very strange riding down the middle of the road and I had this anxiety the whole time that we were going to get hit by a car. Reese of course, had no anxiety and loved walking the lines in the road like a balance beam. The train track now runs under the Twin Peaks overpass and we have been back since to stand on the bridge and look down over the train as it passes underneath. It's all very exciting!
