Who and why did this originate? Did Alan Earls ask those most affected? These trails will go behind-and within sight-of the backdoors of many homes-taking away their privacy and compromising their security. The Corps of Engineers has managed this area for flood control for years efficiently-not allowing any building. With the 96 units at the Montage on the old sewer beds linked up, expect a ton of foot traffic-with more trash and dog poop. More risk for kids getting lost in dark swamp. With little access, will people park on narrow roads, impeding emergency vehicles? Will the wildlife be driven out? What's the cost? Free? Is this a done deal or can everyone get a say?
