This is where the path from our driveway to the west met the path heading north and south. Today it is a multi-lane, triangular intersection 18 feet across. Just down the hill from this, the path splits into two lanes separated by a median of grass -- a highway. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5592c13be4b068891dbcdb81/t/55933807e4b0c3339129d740/1435711498268/ Our Story Today these fields are wide open, uninhabited and beautiful. But this land is for sale now, and development will eventually come to this open space. How many families will move in here? How much more traffic will then hit the path that crosses our backyard, 15 feet from our garden? The worries, wear and tear, and all the other problems associated with this path are already burdensome. We must close this path to public traffic now. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5592c13be4b068891dbcdb81/5593258ae4b0d71f69d58d3d/55933965e4b0d65f034374e8/1435711846213/Wide+Path+Off+Drive+3+LR.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5592c13be4b068891dbcdb81/5593258ae4b0d71f69d58d3d/559325cfe4b08369d021c638/1435706831838/Parallel+Trails+at+SE+Corner+LR.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5592c13be4b068891dbcdb81/5593258ae4b0d71f69d58d3d/559326a4e4b05b7cd1327e02/1435707045204/Double+Path+1+LR.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5592c13be4b068891dbcdb81/5593258ae4b0d71f69d58d3d/559326a5e4b0ac83f4dd6e50/1435707046714/Double+Path+2+LR.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5592c13be4b068891dbcdb81/5593258ae4b0d71f69d58d3d/559325c4e4b08369d021c5ff/1435706828021/Double+Path+at+SE+Corner+LR.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5592c13be4b068891dbcdb81/5593258ae4b0d71f69d58d3d/55933962e4b0d65f034374d3/1435711843516/Double+Path+Off+Drive+LR.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5592c13be4b068891dbcdb81/5593258ae4b0d71f69d58d3d/55933963e4b088352d10c60f/1435711845071/Wide+Path+Off+Drive+1+LR.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5592c13be4b068891dbcdb81/5593258ae4b0d71f69d58d3d/5593258ce4b051859f0cb496/1435706765618/Triangle+at+SE+Corner+LR.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5592c13be4b068891dbcdb81/5593258ae4b0d71f69d58d3d/559325c3e4b0e37511f28aa5/1435706821675/Double+Path+At+Corner+1+LR.jpg Our Story https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5592c13be4b068891dbcdb81/t/55932446e4b0b251af58a29f/1435706441936/ Our Story http://www.preservingourbackyard.com/questions-answers daily 0.75 2015-07-10
