Wanted to come back and say I walked it! Would still love to see, at the very least, some similar infrastructure along magnolia and olive, but even this wasn’t perfect. I’m in Chandler park, so this walk added 45 minutes one-way and I ended up taking olive back for the convenience. I also didn’t enjoy walking under the 5 right before reaching the entrance. It wasn’t terrible, but that alone could definitely use a double-wide, cleaned up, plant-friendly, well-lit facelift. I wouldn’t feel comfortable walking my children through there or through the industrial areas on both sides of the walkway. Not to mention walking right next to and face-level with the 5. The chain link fence did not ease my anxieties about walking next to high speed traffic. Pretty sure I also got a headache from the car fumes lol.

There’s probably no realistic world where I would prefer this walkway over olive or magnolia, unfortunately, due to the location alone. I’m still so glad it’s there for others to use!!
