A city street lined with historic multi-story brick rowhouse buildings with the glass Hancock Tower skyscraper rising above them in the background. In the foreground is an intersection with a traffic light turning yellow and a street sign that says "Appleton Street". A woman in a puffy winter coat is crossing the street. On the right is a newly-painted protected bike lane running between the sidewalk and a row of parked cars.

A view downhill down a city street lined with modest 2-3 story wooden buildings. A street sign in the middle distance says "Montrose" under a "one way" sign pointing left. Further on, four bright yellow diamond signs mark a crosswalk and bike trail crossing. The crossing is flanked with two speed humps. There is no traffic on the street, only a few parked cars.
