Impact analysis
The project is federally funded (residents estimate the path alone near $2 million) with residents asking the city to scale it back or decline the grant.
If built as designed, cyclists and pedestrians from nearby subdivisions would gain a connected path; residents say they would not use it.
Residents say the path encroaches on front yards, removes mature trees, and could open the road to future truck traffic.
