I hope (though it seems unlikely) that the city will maintain this as an unpaved trail. We have vanishingly few safe places to ride that aren’t paved and this segment is a special treat. I left my comment already but truly I will be so sad if they pave this.

That’s a fair point, it really doesn’t need pavement so much as it needs access ramps and repair to the railings and weird holes along the way. Des Plaines trail is gravel just fine If they could just move the jersey barriers blocking the north branch trail in Labagh I’d be happy haha

Yeah, the entrance is not ideal and there are some challenging sections (which I like, but understand they’re not for everyone). I love the DPRT but it’s so far and annoying to get to!
