I'm riding this 5.8 mile long sidewalk today on the bicycle in Mobile County
as a comparison to yesterday's 27 mile long sidewalk ride in Baldwin County.
Starting at Dog River going northward on the East side of the road
there is no sidewalk for the first 1.5 miles of the trek up to Interstate I-10.
Immediately 25 percent of the pedestrian or bicycle trip has no sidewalk access at all.
No sidewalk to get to McNally Park or Wood Park.
Unlike the Eastern Shore Sidewalk along US 98,
using the Dauphin Island Parkway Sidewalk
was not only frustrating, but dangerous.
Here are a few scenes photographed below.
