The decision against RPMs was not a desire to avoid changes, the decision was a reversal of their original opinion.

I don't know which subcontractor built the paths and I don't know why that matters. The paths were likely built to a specification and that specification appears to be consistent with Federal guidelines.

The paths are safe today with RPMs only in curves, hills, and constricted spaces. The path down Marsh Bend would benefit by some reflectors in the sharp corners, and hopefully those will be installed soon, but District 15 is not part of the PWAC.
Well said.
