All those curb cuts are an excellent example how they make an area pedestrian un-friendly (I realize the area is not pedestrian friendly for many other reasons). It was like running a mini obstacle course while learning to communicate "please don't squish me by turning right on red" with your eyes. Particularly after riding miles with no curb cuts. I was getting proficient in my track stand abilities though.
This new trail will be great. Glad they incorporated access to the bar/pool area too.
It was a difficult situation especially with the original casino being there before the trail, I am really proud to have been part of the fix. From the North, the new trail route follows Joe Creek from Riverside to the River then follows the river to the South end of the property then up the construction access ramp to rejoin the existing trail as it goes on South. the new trail is a 20' wide single trail designed and constructed to the new River Parks standard (including lighting and plus cameras). As for access to the pool area, trail users will be able to enter the property from the trail and can access the 'dry side' of the pool bar and the casino itself but not the pool area which is reserved for hotel guests only. The trail is scheduled to open the first of April and then the old trail comes out.
