The Dialogue

On Angela Hunt’s March column, “Missed Connections,” about why the Dallas Arboretum lacks access for pedestrians and cyclists:

“Pedestrian entrance from Garland Rd = Great Idea. Immediate access from White Rock Lake Park = Horrible Idea. The faux/ overly-manicured/over-fertilized wasteful “nature” of the Arboretum needs a clear and distinct barrier from the real, peaceful, serene, unadulterated beauty of the lake.” —Scott O

“I would hate for a cyclist to get killed trying to get to the Arboretum. As I live near it, I understand the concerns about expansion and traffic. But there would be far less auto traffic if you could walk/bike/ skate to the Arboretum and enter on the trail side.” —Ox-Bow

“Amen! I’m an Arboretum member and live in the neighborhood and contacted them about this exact issue last year. It’s bananas that I live a 10-minute bike ride away and can’t take advantage of that without, like you, braving Garland with my two toddlers in tow or hiking through the muck.” —Mia
