The paths south of 466 are 16 feet wide and are constructed of pavement just like roads, making these paths more comfortable and less dangerous.
The project that is underway will bring the paths north of 466 up to the standards of those south of 466.

Some are only 10' wide. I watched the contractor tear up some of the old paths. It appears the concrete was just laid on the ground with no sub surface preparation. A lot of attention seems to be given to sub surface preparation on the new paths including a layer of lime rock then two layers of asphalt. I have observed city streets being built with less attention to detail. These new paths with golf cart (light) traffic will be around when most of us are gone.
Barefoot, et el, mentioned increase in home value. Good point.
