Pic to go: Help from a cartoon

Walking through Pioneer Square has gotten a bit trickier lately as the city works on new sidewalk and pedestrian improvements.

Yes, but: A pair of cartoon character signs recently showed up to help pedestrians find the usable sidewalks.

• The cutout characters appear to be smiling lampposts wearing high-top tennis shoes.

What's next: The construction around Occidental Park is expected to be completed before the end of the year.
