Especially to not get hit by cars.

Heart wants to not walk in curbside puddles, I'll bet.

it's a very calm dead-end street with maybe 8 houses and iirc speed is limited to 30km. You can walk in the middle of the street and you would still be safe.

There was even a hoop left in the street. If kids can play basketball there, i think you can walk safely. (i walked and cycled on the street. It was raining.)

edit: i'm on "fuck cars" too. This photo isn't about cars.

Also to be able to jog on grass instead of hard pavement to help save my knees 🤕

Ah, good theory

But if you had to choose one…..

my heart wants a world without cars and asphalt roads, where there's no need for sidewalks, where every path is just a desire path and a chance to bloom.

who cares?

this was the only time i was there, i can't say

there is one, on the residential side of the street, lining the houses, for those who need a pavement

It forces cars to slow down to navigate. A college I used to live by did the same thing.

Seems like the park side is larger for it. The other side looks to be yards/fences, no point in giving the resident there a little extra lawn.

Looks like it's going around a lake?
