One neighbor’s hopes for Oxford Trails: “I want to unite people, whether that’s through jogging, biking or just exploring the different neighborhoods of Grand Rapids with this trail. So many different neighborhoods are connected to it.” What are your hopes for the trail? #oxfordconnects 🌿 🏘️ Las esperanzas de una vecina para los senderos de Oxford Trails: “Quiero unir a la gente, ya sea corriendo, en bicicleta o simplemente explorando los diferentes vecindarios de Grand Rapids a través de este sendero. Muchas vecindades diferentes están conectadas a él”. ¿Cuáles son los suyos?
Cuando uno de nuestros vecinos reflexionó sobre el rediseño de Oxford Trail, compartió estas sabias palabras: “Estás en una comunidad donde el mundo puede ser un poco pequeño debido a los desafíos del transporte. Así que un camino como este no puede abrir el acceso de forma económica al zoológico o a un evento divertido con los niños y al ejercicio” #oxfordconnects 🌿 🫶🏽 When one of our neighbors reflected on the Oxford Trail redesign, they shared these words of wisdom: “You're in a community where the world can be a bit small because of transportation issues. So a path like this can open up access inexpensively, to the zoo or to a fun event with the kids, and to exercise.”
How did you first hear about Oxford Trails? “The first time we heard of Oxford Trails was when we were on Jefferson, and there’s a sign that says Oxford Trails and an arrow that says 1.8 miles or whatever. It wasn’t very specific. Eventually, we figured out what it was, and now we go pretty regularly even though it’s not really in our neck of the woods.” #oxfordconnects 🪧🌿 ¿Cómo se enteró por primera vez de los senderos de Oxford Trails? “La primera vez que oímos hablar de los senderos de Oxford Trails fue cuando estábamos en Jefferson, y había un letrero que decía Oxford Trails y una flecha que decía 1,8 millas o lo que sea. No fue muy específico. Con el tiempo descubrimos qué era y ahora vamos con bastante regularidad, aunque no está muy cerca de donde vivimos.”
Sobre el futuro de los senderos de Oxford Trails, un vecino dice esto: “Me gustaría ver que los senderos unan a la comunidad. Para acercar a la comunidad, (el plan) suena bien”. ¿Qué tal tú? 🫱🏿🫲🏼🫱🏾🫲🏼 #oxfordconnects 🫱🏾🫲🏿🫱🏻🫲🏽 About the future of Oxford Trails, one neighbor says this: “I would like to see the trails bring the community together. For bringing the community closer, (the plan) sounds good.” What about you?
Is this an experience you’d like to have, too? “It wasn’t until recently that I found out that Oxford Trail connected all the way over the river. I decided to explore it with some friends. It was summer, and the sun was setting when we started out at Oxford Street. It was really comforting, having a space to talk awhile and just enjoy the nice weather.” 🌿 🌊 🌆 #oxfordconnects ¿Es esta una experiencia que a ti también te gustaría tener? "Hace poco descubrí que Oxford Trail conecta a través del río entero. Decidí explorarlo con algunos amigos. Era verano y el sol se estaba poniendo cuando salimos en la calle Oxford. Fue genial tener un lugar para charlar un rato y simplemente disfrutar del buen clima”.
