During the 2013 AMPC public workshops, attendees expressed a desire to keep the sidewalks on the passive side of the park at 5 feet.  This desire was confirmed by the Memorial Park Civic Association (MPCA) in the resolutions that were submitted to the AMPC in April 2014.  A copy of the MPCA resolutions can be found here.  Additionally, a 5-foot wide sidewalk complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
