Reviewed 2026-10-22. Fresh municipal feature 35 explicitly designates asphalt pedestrian/bicycle use, with about a quarter-mile total network including multipart mapping artifacts. The total is not asserted as one continuous quarter-mile loop; this is a short selected main-path return. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
