@ Why???

I think the article sounds harsher than Dan really means it to be. I think he's raising important points of reference for future infrastructure. Maybe the part about the actual route could be tempered, but the points about the lack of connection to anything else is very valid. It's probably a great trail to get a nice 30 mile ride in (round trip), but why not have the trail connect to the adjacent neighborhoods and roadways, to get more people using it? The excuse will be it's not in the States requirements to do anything more than build the trail, and the connections are the responsibility of the County, or the development HOA's/developers. I'd imagine any new developments adjacent to the trail would be made to connect, but it will be up to the County to build the old connections, and that is money that they really don't have right now. I've not looked into some of the on-street issues personally, but it also does seem pointless to build a trail that has no safe roadway crossings. That should take first priority in any future improvements.
