Comments on: You Can’t Get There From Here http://www.edgewiseblog.com/mjh/loco/you-cant-get-there-from-here/ "It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." -- Sam Adams Tue, 08 Mar 2011 01:17:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: mjh http://www.edgewiseblog.com/mjh/loco/you-cant-get-there-from-here/comment-page-1/#comment-165 mjh Sat, 07 Jan 2006 23:17:49 +0000 http://www.edgewiseblog.com/mjh/loco/you-cant-get-there-from-here/#comment-165 Thanks, John. I appreciate that things can't all be done at once; and, I'm not at all informed on the plans. Still, that underpass may be going to waste currently. Why not tell people it's there as a way to get across Carlisle? Couldn't pedestrians benefit? If they changed the gate on the west side ramp, one could go up to the Carlisle sidewalk, over the arroyo and behind the restaurants to avoid having to ride much along Menaul. Immediately useful -- perhaps. peace, mjh Thanks, John. I appreciate that things can’t all be done at once; and, I’m not at all informed

In the long range bike network plan, they have a trail planned for the north side there. They didn't have the money to complete the whole thing, but they designed the Carlisle bridges to include the bike underpass now, so it's there when they add the bike path later.At the time they did it, I thought it showed a bit of foresight, though I guess it'll only really be foresight if/when they actually complete the thing. It looks from the GIS maps on the city's web site like the plan is to take trail over along the diversion channel to Jefferson, which would be great for us, as there's currently no good way (and by good, I guess I mean "safe") on a bicycle around that Carlisle-I40 mess.
