It gives citizens more options for commuting and recreation, and presumably costs much less than a paved system. It could be one piece of a larger strategy for providing alternatives to the automobile. @Streets4Peeps what do you think about this idea?

[Patrick Henry @PatrickLHenry]

https://t.co/vM5TRuXBX5 I like this idea of a formalized, mostly unpaved hiking and biking network. Through use of public ROW, good signage and some maintenance, a city can create a trail network that is separated from cars.

@smartin_scott @UrbanLou Are we planning something?

@smarkreilly @LouPubWorks @FriendsBtownRd Again, why was it removed?

[Patrick Henry @PatrickLHenry]

@smarkreilly @LouPubWorks @FriendsBtownRd Do we know why these sections of sidewalk were removed?

[Patrick Henry @PatrickLHenry]

@JohnClayStites @jroecobb It’s possible. We’re seeing other cities and towns in this state do it.

[Patrick Henry @PatrickLHenry]

@cityresearch @JohnClayStites @jroecobb That’s right. Which is actually a good thing.

[Patrick Henry @PatrickLHenry]

@JohnClayStites @jroecobb I didn’t mention that “friends of” and “downtown partnership” groups can often play a important supporting roles, but there needs to be a robust metro agency commitment(often multiple agencies) behind it.

[Patrick Henry @PatrickLHenry]

@JohnClayStites @jroecobb These require maintenance…you’ll never get out of it unless you just concrete over everything. These also require a operations and maintenance guide to help simplify the maintenance process and make them more successful over the long run.

@longmarkr @robmolou Probably the most owned item in NYC.

@TylerParkHood Today!?

@MichaelMobility @Streets4Peeps Stockholm, Sweden has them…they’ve even got turning lanes.

@laylakgeorge @Ehrlers1867 Is it time for an OPC shepherd and flock of sheep to manage the lawns 😍?

[Patrick Henry @PatrickLHenry]

@laylakgeorge @Ehrlers1867 I want this to be part of the everyday experience in Cherokee.

@smarkreilly What I hope doesn’t happen is they get removed. The tree well grates downtown have been removed. I think the intention there was to not have trees outgrow the grates but that’s misguided. If the trees manage to grow to that size(in 30 yrs),then remove them at that time.

@evanjkerr Here’s what happened in Lexington (the city).

[Patrick Henry @PatrickLHenry]

@evanjkerr @lgeku Honestly, I think think those are all Bradford Pears, which are incredibly invasive. Cut them down and start over now. If there’s no infrastructure money to bury lines (there’s not), plant understory trees.

@WFPLNews @treeslouisville @LimbwalkerTree People can look at https://t.co/Rgx2FPg26k to understand if the streets that trees are being removed are managed privately, by Metro or by KYTC. They just have to maneuver around the site and click the tools to see different information.
