Anyone else think this sounds weird? I think they also call the building they work in the Garden City City Hall!
As for the subject at hand, while it would have been nice to have a proper Greenbelt stretch through that disputed area, that ship has sailed. A similar controversy happened years ago on the south side in SE Boise that was even worse than this.
Garden City is right--it's time to get that bridge at the Eagle Island split complete. Once that happens there will be a decent enough connection to the Eagle city limits. There are better fights to pick for more needed bike paths than this one.
