Question of the Week – 52

Every week, we ask area residents a question. The question may be serious, or it may be light-hearted. We will print the answers we receive here.

For this week’s question we asked:

Which pavement would you prefer for the proposed walking trail from the wellness center to the city park – a gravel, nature-like substance or asphalt or pavement?

I think it should be asphalt. I’d rather walk on asphalt. Danetta Schneeweis

More of a nature trail. Who doesn’t love nature? We have enough asphalt. – Jennifer Hale

Maybe asphalt. For one thing, it seems safer  than a nature trail. I’m afraid with a nature trail people would be worried about someone jumping out of the woods and grabbing them. I’d also think you’d have less of a chance of stumbling on asphalt. – Jody Stillings

I think it would be better to have a more natural surface, because they already have asphalt paths around the city park. – Rose Haden

Next week’s question is: Does your family have reunions? Tell us about them. E-mail answers to whitney@douglascountyherald.com or call 417-683-4181.
