RiverSide Jogging Trail

[Hoss]

That's correct and it runs all the way down to 71st street- Both, the trail & parking areas are closed off. The new trail section in the north looks nice but IMO it's overdone with all that fancy stuff, expensive light poles every 100 feet, and a trail curb & all that stuff costs money. I would be very happy with just a new "plain Jane"  trail I'm not a big fan of all those frills. The old trail had to go it was falling apart and narrow no question about, it was past due for a re-build.. My normal running section of the RiverSide trail is the closed off section. Just give me a open trail and a stop watch and I'm good to go, forget the fancy frills. They are building a Cadillac trail when a Chevy would do nicely- Color me old fashioned I guess.

Well, isn't it a cryin' shame they didn't consult you before they drafted up the plans for it?

I wish they would make me  King for the day I'd fix up all the countries problems in no time. I'll fix Tulsa's problems in a minute.

Don't you actually have to live in your 'kingdom' to be called king?

Evidently he chooses a BIG kingdom, more than just Tulsa.   The next king could un-do some or all of his "fixes".

Yep, he posts his comments from a library in Columbus, Ohio.

I thought you would maybe appoint the new mayor for Omaha first.

The only thing you'll find me complaining about is that it's either too hot or too cold...or that maybe I should have had a beer or three instead of my run.

There's PLENTY of open trails for running. Be crazy...try different paths! Or goodness...run on the west side of the river. Or crap...just open your front door and go!

I'm incredibly proud of what our city is doing with the trail system. It's top-notch!!

Actually I am a runner...30-35 miles a week. Countless 5Ks/10Ks...half a dozen half marathons and one full marathon under my belt.

I just don't obsess over the condition of the Riverside trails. I take them for what they are...great and getting better!

uh, kraut,  this is GG from The Breakroom.   Have known you for years, unfortunately.

With the clearing weather runners can get out there and do a few miles before the storms hit this evening. I'll be out there on the north section wearing blue shoes and black shorts and a stop watch in my hand.

You're actually in Tulsa? I'd come see it with my own eyes so I could believe it, but I have to go work in another state tonight. :p
