The lack of a requirement for sidewalks in
subdivisions is a big mistake in my opinion.  It puts children and their
parents at risk on streets with 30 MPH speed limits.

Subject: [Winona] Bike paths and trails






 






         
I would like to second what Bryon  Bothun and Phil Carlson have said about
bike paths, trails etc. These are       
       
          
definitely   enhancements , as witness the success of our
path around Lake Winona.









 









I have a little different take on
the justification for a path, probably because I see a lot of pedestrians, in
one form or 









another, on the street where I
live.. There is a lot of variety, all the way from trikes and strollers 
to the elderly using
canes                                  
and walkers. Walking and biking are great exercises and I would like to see
more of it but it also raises some concerns









when it has to be done in the
traffic lanes of a somewhat narrow, winding street that has no sidewalks. Seems
like a









path or trail would be an ideal
solution. And for those who are concerned about the aesthetics, let's not
forget,"Beauty









is in the eye of the beholder".
