Sound Off  Why are they putting extra-wide sidewalks along the
south side of Clinton Parkway? I've heard it was for emergency
vehicles in case the parkway was crowded. Is that true?  No,
said City Engineer Terese Gorman.  "The existing asphalt path
was constructed when Clinton Parkway was constructed in the
mid-'70s," she said. "At that time, it met (national) standards
for shared-use paths."  Since that time, she said, the standards
have changed. A 10-foot-wide sidewalk is now required for shared
use, which includes walking, jogging, bicycling, inline skating
and other recreational purposes.  "This path is not intended to
be used by emergency vehicles under any circumstances," Gorman
said.    Commenting has been disabled for this item.
