Arana Gulch and the Broadway-Brommer Connector Path

Controversy, controversy. . . . Amidst all the competing opinions about the Broadway-Brommer Bike path, the Hub maintains the opinion that this path would be a justifiable and wise use of our covetted greenspace, if it is well conceived and implemented.

While the Hub supports the construction of the path, we do not support the construction of a 12-foot-wide asphalt path. We have asked that the city look into alternative paving materials and reduce the width to the caltrans minimum of 8 feet. We have proposed that lighting not be used on the path (just as the path through the great meadow at UCSC). More detailed information about our position on the project and articles will soon appear on this page.
