Love it.  Now I have a great way from my house to Lester Park.

Between 45th and ~54th the Lakewalk extension is basically a sidewalk. It's super close to Superior street and not very scenic. I suppose there have to be a few non-exciting links to make the whole loop.  

It does, however, make a fabulous place to practice riding a two-wheeler without training wheels (provided the sidewalk isn't crowded): flat, no cross traffic, wider than a sidewalk.  My 5-year-old is ---><--- this close to being a bike rider with full rights and respinsibilities.

This has been great for the Lakeside neighborhood.  Lets hope they plow it this winter.

Good call, Piglet.  With all the brouhaha about mini-trucks last night at the city council meeting, I think someone ought to tackle Scooter Lady and her not-ready-for-prime-time wheels.  Lord.

Drove by part of it today and Superior St. was flooded halfway across ... hiking trails are nice but impervious surfaces = flooding during heavy rain.
