i mean, all you have to do is go to any city with decent pedestrian infrastructure to feel the difference first hand.

Be careful you might get called cynical by some elderly person who has no principles, visions, or beliefs if you point out basic things that this city completely and utterly fails on for no reason other than it's own lack of will to be better.

This isn’t true. Most of the CWE lost convenient access to the park when the Victorian bridge over FPP was murdered by traffic violence. And the morons who run the park have placed ZERO priority on getting the bridge replaced.

Wydown-Skinker is the only neighborhood with good access and even there you have to contend with a street that’s way to wide and speeds that are way too high

i'm not understanding this comment and the one following. you seem to be talking about having to cross roads and bridges to get to the park, which is the same point i was making. i was saying that once you make it to the sidewalk *on the same side of the street as the park*, you can literally walk right into the park. you don't need a designated "entrance" (as tztag seemed to be suggesting).

Large city truck hit the ped bridge that allows you to cross into park near west Pine, easily access trails etc. it had to be demolished due to the tomfoolery.
