When such trails occur within a city, all trail access points can constitute access to home, work, or shopping for many people. If this concept doesn't work in the 'burbs, well, what can I say... it's far from the only screwed-up thing about the 'burbs. It's only right that cyclists and peds should have some limited access thruways, and it's only right that these should be legitimate applications for transportation funds. We cyclists have spent all our taxpaying lives buying motorist-only freeways. A little reciprocation would be nice. We're getting more and more of those in the SF Bay Area, but the progress is slow. The Stevens Creek Trail goes right into an industrial park where Google and several other large employers are located. Another trail goes right by Intel and continues into North San Jose near Cisco. While these trails are nice for their lack of traffic, they are often not suitable for commuting because you can't go very fast on them, and there are often other users on the trail not behaving responsibly. They often take a contorted route to cross freeways, railroad tracks, and other surface streets. |
