I would also like to comment on the road closure for connection to Lockeland Springs. Simply put, there has to be a better way. A walking connection for Lockeland Springs should not keep people who have walking difficulties from going onto the island and enjoying the wildlife. Some people might find it hard to walk from where the road is cut off to the bridge to the island. This is a functional road and I have never found the little bit of traffic any kind of problem when I walk that section of the road. People in vehicles are usually cautious and try to be respectful. Perhaps the solution would be a walking trail, whether concrete or dirt, around the very perimeter of the lake. Perhaps a walk, within 5 to 6 feet of the water. That would look good and solve handicap issues. The trail from Lockeland Springs could be worked in to this with a pedestrian crossing at the bridge or wherever it comes out. Please think about this. A walking trail around the lake and a bike lane seem much more funcationl than closing off the road. It is irritating and certainly not the best use of the roadway to just close it off. There is another problem in that there is really no where to park and walk to the island without walking a long way for a handicapped person. Nashville a should be a little ashamed of the way this park is managed. You would never find this kind of situation at Centennial Park. It is always well groomed and kept. Please consider these options.
