Just because my destination is on the other side of a park is no reason to force me to meander. Put in meandering paths in addition to direct ones, and let me choose if I want to use them.
That's just utter BS reasoning. First, how do sidewalks impact the park's heritage. People walking, that's the heritage of the park. Cars, less so, but, if there's going to be a road, sidewalks would seem to make sense.
As for, encouraging meandering, are they for real? Why should pedestrians be forced to meander when a direct through route is considered essential for cars? How much more backwards can we get?
