We’ve all seen carts pulled over.
They might have curbs around the circles or the underpasses.

I'm not referring to "curbs". These are cement "ribbons" that line each side of the MM Paths. The cement is the same level as the asphalt but the cement does not allow the grass to infiltrate it, therefore, the asphalt remains grass free.

One of my mantras has always been, "never say never" and "never say all". I imagine you are correct about that. Some paths have the cement ribbons and some don't. Thing is, north of 44, I have not seen a MMP that does not have a cement ribbon protecting the asphalt.

Come to think of it......the most recent walking path in the northern section is the path that begins at the Lake Miona Rec Center. I haven't been on that path yet but wondering if that path is just asphalt with no cement ribbons. Anyone know?

The link is blocked with ********* but I think I have read that thread. There are many complaints that this new walking path is too narrow.

Correct. Several articles in the online news that we can’t mention.

Not sure where she is driving but I’m on the MMP’s south of 44 every day. I live north of the turnpike and pretty sure I’ve been on all MMP’s on my side and I drive to the south side for golf or to eat several times a week. I’ve never noticed any MMP’s that look “awful”. Some have concrete ribbons, some don’t. I’d be interested where your sister has seen paths that look awful.

Not sure I agree with "sis" if she is talking about MM paths. I ride the MMP north of 44 every day to Odell Circle and I do not see any cement ribbons on the MMPs. We stop at the dog area just south of Hillsborough all the time and pull our cart right up on the grass with everyone else without crossing any cement border.

??? Where is there a dog park just south of Hillsborough? If you mean the one near the Wiechens Preserve, that is Moyer Loop. The concrete ribbons are clearly visible along the MMP at Morse and Moyer Loop in google maps.I

In general, the ribbons seem to be present north of 44 and in the Fenney area but not in the area between 44 and the Turnpike.

It still baffles me why someone who doesn’t live south of 44, probably never visits south of 44 feels the need to bash everything south of 44 every chance he gets.

It might not be jealousy but it sure looks like some sort of personal insecurity.

Most from people that haven’t walked the path.

Well said.

There is nothing at all that looks terrible or awful down here. It looks different from the north of 44 areas, but different doesn’t equal awful. To those who don’t like the look of it, the simple solution is to stay up north. This whole thread is BS and just seems like pot stirring from someone who has no skin in the game in the south of 44 area. Why the obsession with something that doesn’t need to concern them is a great question though .

Sis is wrong. The paths down here are perfectly fine.
