This is a one way street with 2 areas of semicircular bike racks a few metres apart. However, to cycle north-eastwards just 25m incurs a detour of over 1km.
[Google Maps directions claim that you can cycle north-eastwards between the 2 but that is a mistake on their part; you would have to walk (that is why driving route is shown).]
[And we'll ignore the motorbike parked there shall we?]

In the 1800's a 3'6" gauge railway was built in what was thought to be seemingly impassable wilderness. It purpose was to carry copper from the mines in Queenstown, where smelters opened in 1897, to the port at Strahan. Due to the steep climbs a rack was laid and the 0-4-2 steam locomotives fitted with a cog driven by an extra two cylinders (based on a German patent which was already proven). In June 1962 the last through train ran between Queenstown (pictured above) and Strahan due to improvements to the road system.
In 1990, with funding from the federal government, the railway was relaid and a number of passenger carriages were built, as well as, the restoration of the present three steam locomotives. The completed station and turntable of the restored operation is pictured above.

Newly-completed Mitcham station built as part of works to grade separate rail line from Mitcham Road and Rooks Road. The station officially opened January 25; the day before these photos were taken.
The new lowered station is located on the southern side of the old at-grade station in what was part of the station's car park.
An UP X'Trapolis passes a DOWN empty one through the new station. View looking in UP direction from the pedestrian overpass.
Work wrapped up over the March 8-10 weekend at the end of the first of two, nine-day closures on the Wells Street Bridge where a section of the bridge was completely replaced and new tracks built atop it.

Das Foto hat Notizen.
Ihre Fassaden sind aus Glas oder aus Beton, sie sind mal schmal, mal rund, mal spitz, mal mit und mal ohne Antenne. Frankfurt haben sie den Beinamen Mainhattan eingebracht. Noch in den fünfziger Jahren war der Kaiserdom mit seinen 96 Metern das höchste Gebäude der Stadt. Heute reckt sich der Commerzbankturm samt Antenne mit fast 300 Metern in die Höhe. Insgesamt überragen rund hundert Hochhäuser die Stadt, meist Bank- oder Bürogebäude.
Aber das Motto der mächtigen Bauherren in der Finanzmetropole lautet inzwischen nicht nur immer höher, sondern auch: immer schöner. Schwer zu sagen, wer in der Konkurrenz die Nase vorn hat: der von Helmut Jahn gestaltete Messeturm, das rötlich schimmernde Japan-Center oder der in Rautenoptik wie ein Apfelweinglas gestaltete Westhafen Tower? In der Beliebtheitsskala der Frankfurter ganz oben steht der Maintower. Denn mit ihm gab es eine Premiere im Frankfurter Hochhausbau: Der im Jahr 2000 fertig gestellte Turm wurde mit einer Aussichtsterrasse im 56. Stock für Besucher geöffnet; der blitzschnelle Aufzug bringt sie auch zum Drink oder Abendessen in die Höhe.
Nachdem die Mainstadt sich bereits eine in Europa einmalige Skyline gebaut hat, wurde die Innenstadt selbst aus dem 20. in das 21. Jahrhundert katapultiert. Mitten im Herzen der City, an Hauptwache und Zeil, ist das "PalaisQuartier" entstanden: an einer der umsatzstärksten Einkaufsmeilen Deutschlands ist - neben zwei Hochhäusern mit einer Höhe von 120 Meter und 90 Metern für ein Hotel und Büros - das Einkaufszentrum "MyZeil" ein großer Publikumsmagnet. Das abgerissene Thurn und Taxis Palais wurde nach historischem Vorbild wieder errichtet und bietet weiteren Geschäften, Büros und Versammlungsräumen Platz.

A recent innovation on the part of SNCF, has been the creation of an Infrastructure sector and the appearance of a specific livery for locomotives employed by it. This BB22200 was seen in fresh paint as it headed a short train of infrastructure vehicles through the little used station at Nissan in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of south eastern France.

A huge stretch of at least a metre long... but without any legal basis.
This is on the road to the out-of-town sports centre which most users use cars to get there. If only there was a space in the centre of town that a replacement could be developed on so that more people could cycle or even walk to it.

In the 1980s, USAID funded hundreds of infrastructure projects in El Salvador. These efforts were made possible by the active participation of local community members, including local women who carried rocks to help in the construction of a retention wall for landslide prevention projects.

“Weeping willow with your tears running down, why do you always weep and frown? Is it because he left you one day? Is it because he could not stay? On your branches he would swing. Do you long for the happiness that day would bring? He found shelter in your shade. You thought his laughter would never fade. Weeping Willow, stop your tears, for there is something to calm your fears. You think death has ripped you forever apart, but I know he'll always be in your heart.”

An office building will soon rise along Main where the old downtown Macy’s was demolished in September 2013. Per the designs below, the building will rise 23-stories and 346 feet.
When it’s built, here’s what the tower could look like.
