Asheville City Council is expected to approve giving a Raleigh firm $310,000 in exchange for “developing architectural and engineering construction documents” for yet another greenway. Said greenway shall provide linkage between two future parks and provide recreational and anti-obesity-crisis opportunities.

If you’re like me, you probably hike the wealth of beautiful WNC trails more than those who are demanding greenways, and on a busy day see maybe four other hiking parties per hour. If you’re like Them, you conclude that means there aren’t enough trails. It works like transit. Demand grows only after markets are glutted with supply.
