It doesn't take much...
(lemmy.world)
… especially if the neighborhood is filled with little shits with too many electrified toys.
EDIT: Okay, I'm convinced. Regular bikes would actually be a sensible cause here. Let me be a curmudgeon though.
The original path design is exceedingly stupid. Sidewalks are not a place for this kinda artistic pathing, they are a functional element of public infrastructure. Its barely even wide enough for a wheelchair. Put that kinda path in a park somewhere, not next to a road, then people wont make a shortcut to get past it.
Welcome to American suburbia; the sidewalk is basically meant to serve the purpose of a park path. The nearest shop of any kind whatsoever is 1.3km away, and if anything that's not considered that bad.
1.3 kilometers seems unusually close for an American suburb.
The shop is 1.3km away, but because of no road crossings or sidewalks it's actually a 5km trip without a car.
I don't think that should be a relevant factor for the availability of proper sidewalks.
Wheelchair users who want to visit their neighbors should be grateful the pavers lie flat, not heaved up by tree roots. (And in fact the flat grass might be a smoother way around such obstacles, except when too muddy.) The grass exists for dogs to pee and poop on. Looks like owners have been decent about scooping, at least.
It's America, they are lucky there's a path at all.
If they had made it straight there would be a diagonal desire path going right instead, only solution is to concrete everything!
Just do both and make it a pretty triangle :)
Ah, a Desire Path. Love to see them!
Well yeah, thats the name of the community. But yes, i do love to see them, especially in response to stupid paving like this.
Well that's embarrassing. I totally missed the community, guess now I have to sub.
