Yep, that why the university was asked to build a
paved pedestrian walkway around East Campus (inside
the wall) with 5 foot-wide pedestrian entrances at
each corner.

This solution saves the trees and provides the
sidewalk.

The ball is in Duke's court. We'll see what they say
about connectivity.

Of course, emails from a local official saying Duke
can get a pass on pedestrian walkways around East
Campus might give Duke the cover it needs to say no.

What's important to remember here is that Duke
submitted a Pedestrian Plan that is woefully
inadequate and needs improvements in several areas.

We'll see what Duke does.
