Turns out it’s exactly how this public amenity works.  If it stresses you out, stop going. [/quote]

DP. It's how the public amenity [i]currently[/i] works. It worked differently in the past, and could work differently in the future, too. [/quote]

Sure, but a lot of people here are saying they appreciate the way it works now. Why should we pander to your preference that it only be accessible to bikers and pedestrians who can walk long-ish distances?[/quote]

I'm not the OP. Why do you describe potential changes as "pandering"? Obviously it now works for some people and doesn't work for other people. OP could equally well ask (and actually basically did) why they're pandering to you. In addition, OP is not proposing to close off the Arboretum altogether except for people who can walk or bike, and also circulator/shuttle services (which OP has not proposed, I think) would provide access to people who can't or unwilling to walk or bike within the Arboretum.[/quote]

OP here. I think a shuttle/trolly is the ideal solution. [/quote]

Except that they had one and lost funding for it?

In all my visits, I hardly ever saw anyone on it (or driving through the arboretum, for that matter).[/quote]
