I don't mean to be a grinch, but is this really a good idea? The bike path is in perfectly good shape between those two streets, and there isn't a great deal of space for turning it into a picnic area. In fact, the layout of the land seems unsuitable for that. On the bike path next to the Park n Ride, kids sometimes gather to smoke cigarettes and exchange drugs. Do we really want to give them picnic tables at which to do that?
Where are the picnic tables going to go? Near Dell's or near the Park n Ride? If they go near the Park n Ride, who would want to sit down there? Dell's has already put out some chairs for people to sit in.
Where are those gravel parking spaces going to go? The only place they can go is where there is now grass. But we already have a surplus of parking in that area. Personally, I would rather keep the grass. We don't need more parking in this area. Besides, more parking spaces won't do anything to draw people into Warren. If they aren't using the parking spaces that are already there, they won't use the new ones. The Park n Ride is mostly empty all day, every day.
It seems to me that this money would be better used to pave a couple streets.
