How does this serve the NE area as a whole? It doesn’t. It is costly at 1 million $$ per mile! it’s dangerous with 44 cutz along the proposed route. It is already hard enough for those of us living off one of the cutz to safely turn into Thomasville Road. A better and much less costly solution would be to fix the existing sidewalks that are located on both sides of Thomasville Road.

You were also talking about creating a Park at the Holding Pond there at the corner of MaClay Blvd. & MaClay Commerce Dr………is that part of this as well?

They make “network connectivity” and doing a good job at “network connectivity” separate bullet points. These people are morons, they are children with jobs they don’t know how to do, so they add an extra bullet point…

There are multiple neighborhoods along this stretch of Thomasville Road that already ARE destinations. The destination is their homes. Anything added to Thomasville Road must meet their needs and certainly not make their use of the road home less safe than it already is. A weekend shuttle that would take them to other areas to shop and enjoy amenities would be one such enhancement.

You are talking Late 2021 / Early 2022 JUST for the Design Phase. Have you already secured ALL of the Property you will need for this?

When Businesses go up for sell, I will see Car Counters counting the Cars driving by the Business so they can include the Car Count in their Sells Pitch, “137 Cars Daily Pass by this Business”. Has there been a Bike Count on these Bike Trails / Paths to see if it is even worth spending the $Millions of Dollars in these areas? You built a nice paved Bike / Walking Trail from Doak Stadium to Capital Circle to connect to the St. Marks Bike trail, complete with painted lines and signage and yet, I might see about 20 people a YEAR some where on that portion. For what you are wanting to do here and the Money you are planning to spend, I would need to see at least 1000 Bikes / People using it.

Exactly what does “equity” have to do with taking a walk or riding a bike?

It’s a way to spend tax $$$ under the guise of ‘stimulating’ the economy. As an ‘add on’, there are ZERO low income communities along the proposed route. So the ‘equity’ factor appears to be just the catch phrase of the moment.
