Also, lets play the devils advocate here shall we? Yes, people are being lazy and taxpayers are paying 2 million dollars because of it. 2 million to save trail users a 125m detour is not a good use of funds IMO; that money could be better spent elsewhere as part of a need rather than a 'nice to have'.
Correct me if I am wrong, but crossing at an uncontrolled location is "Crossing the street" and isn't illegal in any way/shape/form. Pedestrians need to be sure it is safe to cross.
"Jaywalking" is at a controlled intersection, where the "DON'T WALK" is displayed, and you choose to cross anyway (regardless of traffic).
