Walking

Check directions on a mapping service such as https://www.google.com/maps, as active construction in this area may change walking routes. Be aware of both train and semi truck traffic, and always use marked crosswalks. The flyover that goes up and over the viaduct along S. Atlantic St. has a sidewalk and is a good walking route when the direct route underneath the viaduct is blocked by a train.
