A new Community Wishing Tree appeared Wednesday along the North 19th corridor, installed by the local non-profit Random Acts of Silliness, and within hours the tree’s paper wish tags revealed a community united by a single, overwhelming desire: that North 19th Avenue would somehow have less traffic.

Of the first 43 wishes tied to the tree’s branches, 31 referenced North 19th directly. “Less traffic on 19th” appeared nine times. “Widen 19th” appeared four times. “Delete 19th” appeared once, in a child’s handwriting.
