Between the footbridge and the entrance to Liberty State Park lay a neglected grassy area that was always a pleasure to walk through. Not anymore! The state has been busy the past few months paving over the whole strip and putting in a fairly useless looking cul-de-sac. What you see here is a wheelchair/bike ramp, under construction obviously, connecting the cul-de-sac and the footbridge. God only knows what new construction horrors await us. Seeing this last week actually gave me the impetus to do this tour, because I realized the little zone of rot I walk through is about to succumb to the attentions of the fixer-uppers. As much as I make fun of the decay in this area, I think its beautification will be worse. My solution would be: Just leave it alone, people! Let nature make it beautiful again, not you.
