General Suburban Updates and Rumours

[clasher]

If you put another bridge between Lawrence and the existing one it would be right at the bottom of a steep little hill. I know I would choose to walk a longer route if it meant the grade wasn't so steep, especially pulling a bundle buggy or pushing a stroller. The existing wide path you can see on the map is a loose gravel trail that topped out at 11% on my bike gps last time I went up it. I've never bushwacked from the top down to the creek but it looks fairly steep too. If you make the trail winding to ease the gradient you end up making it longer and taking away green space for asphalt.

The city should pave the existing trail that runs along the creek (all the way out to Fischer-Hallman) and perhaps also formalize the route that runs from the existing bridge up to the townhouses on Paulander but it's still a steep little bit of trail that isn't really practical for anyone in a wheelchair, pushing a stroller or using a bundle buggy.

Also the back of that plaza smells like garbage and urine.
