Cambridge Infill and Small Developments

The base of the bridge is a bad place for the paths to meet. It is probably the most dangerous section of the path with the steep downhill and blind curves. I saw a pretty nasty head on collision there a few months ago, and I've come across a few other crashes. Not sure what could be done to make it a safe intersection with the new path.

It would have been better, IMO, to follow the yellow alignment (in ball_square's post), routing the path under McGrath Hwy instead of a surface crossing. Looking at the aerial photo there appears to be enough room to fit In a path alongside the railroad tracks.

While "unofficial" it's probably as official as it gets for a routing considering the developers are only setting aside the RoW on their parcel & only paying for 25% design; 25-100% design and construction funding isn't part of their deal.

While I understand it would be cost-prohibitive, it would have been awesome if they branched the community path at the elevated viaduct and kept it elevated as a bridge over McGrath.
