Exercise 16

A medium-size city has proposed to build a "greenway" along a creek that flows through the center of the city. The city wants to clear a strip about 50 feet wide and construct a paved path for bicycles and foot traffic (walkers and joggers). Proponents claim that it would be a highly desirable recreational facility for the community, while a very vocal and insistent group of opponents claims that it would degrade the environment and open properties along the creek to undesirable users and influences.
Identify some specific positive and negative aspects of the proposal. Would you be in favor of the proposal, if you lived in the city Would it make a difference if you lived along the creek
