Segregated paths can be so quiet and serene. No pesky cars,
pedestrians, witnesses...
Your title is "kiddie path". But the police report is of a 19 year old girl/woman and a 20-24 year old perpetrator. I realize in a college town every student at Wisconsin U is a "kid". But I still think of teenage and less as being kids. Everyone older is an adult. So not a "kiddie path". I would give the perpetrator some style points for using a bow and arrow to accost the victim. Even your criminals are stylish up there in Madison.
It's a former railroad track, now with asphalt. Overmuch
vegetation, poor sight lines, crappy intersections and the
usual 'segregated facility' features.
'kiddie path' is indeed pejorative but 'public roadway' it
is not.
Too bad. Inner-city rail trails can be a real boon. This one gets tons of traffic:

This time of year, you share it with this:

The Holiday Express! I can hear the distant wail of the airhorn from my house.
