jesse_the_kI got a kick when I saw this "maintain 6 feet social distance" sign -- a wheelchair user is among the six folks sharing the path. Thank you to Public Health Madison & Dane County (Wisconsin) for inclusive design. It was a lovely trip on the Lower Yahara River trail, a ten-foot wide asphalt and boardwalk path that wanders through a marsh (remediated landfill) and then parallels a railroad line between two of our lakes.

TRAIL GUIDELINES
Be courteous and help keep our community safe by sharing these paths.
For bicycles: Slow down! Announce "passing on the left"

For pedestrians: Stay to the edge - maintain social distance
