Safe Walking, Finally a Sidewalk!

One of the worst things about my job in Sha'ar Binyamin was that there was a section between commercial buildings that forced pedestrians to walk with the cars.

It was hard enough for a very careful and lucky adult alone, but I can't imagine how anyone could take young children safely to or from the bus stop, or from Rami Levy or Yafiz or the bakery etc. to the clinic, pharmacy or bus stop.

So, I was overjoyed the other day to see that a sidewalk/ramp was being made there.

All I want to know is:

Why did it take so long?
