The two k-rails at Tenth & Robinson have been hauled out of Hillcrest by the city. Neighborhood activists attached balloons early Thursday morning to wave “bye bye” as the unwanted k-rails were hauled away. Last month Gary Pence in the traffic department thanked the community for our continued patience. (It has been a multi-year process, but these ugly cement barriers that have been magnets for trash and graffitti, as well as creating neighborhood congestion, will finally be gone forever.) Here are a couple videos on YouTube and a photo album on Facebook.

Hillcrest appreciates the assistance of Gibran Maciel in Assemblywoman Toni Atkins’ office. Several members of the Hillcrest Town Council, the Hillcrest Clean T.E.A.M. and interested neighbors watched the several-hour process and celebrated the removal of the two cement k-rails.
