Silver Lake Ave Public Staircase

The Silver Lake Ave Public Staircase connects Silver Ridge Ave, Lake View Ave, Red Car Property, Riverside Place, Riverside Terrace and Allesandro Elementary School.  It was a vital neighborhood link to the Red Car Trolley Stop at India.  Today, the public staircase also connects the community to recreational opportunities on the Red Car Property.
