The City of Parks and Trails.

This post comes from a coworker of mine.

I live in Ellisville, MO called the "City of Parks and Trails" but apparently not many sidewalks to get to them. When I went to take a picture of the lack of sidewalk, I came across this couple and their kids trudging across the grass for about a half a mile until they could get to the sidewalk. They are new to the area and can't believe the sidewalks don't connect to the neighborhoods.

George Strait once sang "When the sidewalk ends, the road begins". This is very true here. I run almost every morning and this is the path I have to take to connect to all my routes. I run in morning traffic on the grass (through many spider webs no less)--in order to get to the sidewalk. The city recently passed an ordinance requiring sidewalks on at least one side of the road for new construction, but it doesn't affect my route.
