The only thing I know from the meeting was the engineer was from the firm who were asked by the villages authorities to give their recommendations on striping or other ideas for the multi modal paths. From listening at the meeting I walked out thinking there were a few that don't comprehend what others are saying or don't care. There are quite a few villagers that believe all cart paths are exactly that. Cart paths only. I can't vouch for the background of the firm the engineer represented in regard to design of the paths or tunnels. I personally don't think the 90 degree tunnel turns are a good idea either.
