The point is that the arboretum is an agricultural research facility focusing on trees, shrubs, bushes and flowers.  They have opened up the facility for the public to come and view and [b]they have made it as accessible as possible for the widest range of people[/b].  OP is objecting that by making it more accessible to people, they have ruined the way that she wants to use the facilities for walking and enjoying nature.

That might be the goal, but no, they haven't done that. I'm not OP.[/quote]

I assume you are referring to the (relatively speaking) lack of public transportation options?  But that's almost entirely out of the arboretum's control.

That the presence of cars takes away from certain people's enjoyment of the arboretum does not mean the cars limit their access.  Those are two different issues.[/quote]

They are different issues, but I think the unlimited car traffic likely does also impede access.  It just makes it a less hospitable place to walk, so people are less likely to go there to walk.  [/quote]
