![]() I searched on "Lake City Greenway" in the futile hope of finding an official Web site with recent information on it. One of the pages I found was on IndianaTrails.Com. The page had, below an out-of-date map, a list of the trail's properties. Right after "Advantages: Wetland, 2 historic bridges, canoeing, picnic shelter, iron bridges" we find "Impediments: some boardwalk over wetlands" In what sense is a boardwalk an impediment? The boardwalk is easily navigated on foot or wheelchair or bicycle or crutches or cane; even though skate boards are forbidden on the boardwalk, they took care to jam the boards close together so the cracks wouldn't catch their wheels. So tightly, in fact, that the plants under the boardwalk died and snow refuses to melt. It can't be because you have to walk it in the winter; after all, it's well known that nobody ever rides a bike between November and May. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net I can't restrain myself from commenting on the "advantages": the "iron bridges" are the "historic bridges" mentioned again. And they are steel. The boat launch and the picnic shelter are part of Kiwanis Park, which was near Chinworth Bridge long before the Chinworth Trail was a hazy daydream, but anything a trail happens to pass near may be listed as an advantage. If the map were up-to-date, they could add "connects Limitless Park to Grace College" to the advantages. I'm surprised that they didn't mention the City-County Athletic Complex; that was the main excuse for building Chinworth Trail. |
