This could easily be resolved if we spent even a tiny fraction of what we do on roads. But most paths are in pretty crappy shape and way too narrow for all the users coming out. It's great people are active, but the city needs to keep up. Our pathways are embarrassing.

Was just about to say this. Nobody questions overbuilt wide 4 lane roads in the suburbs, but god forbid we widen pathways/sidewalks or twin more busy spots
