It would keep cars from going straight there but allow bikes & wheelchairs access.
Yeah, I take a side street near my house up to route K and then over. They haven't cut anything. It doesn't surprise me to see a barrier (it actually helps traffic). However, I just go up through the Regions lot and cross into the gas station. It gives me a good vantage point and is safe at 8 AM when there will never be a car in that parking lot haha. The other alternative is the cross walk at the TOP of the intersection which they are putting in. However, that would require me to take the trail up. between Route K and the road. I don't know if they will continue it past the intersection, if they do, I will take it up and down those hills.

That hill is my KILLER when I come home. It's a VERY long incline that starts at the intersection there and goes up and up and the last part of it HURTS if you don't use your core. I'm getting better, but I still need to stop for my lungs to recover somewhere along there.



Mimi,
