So this dude up in Palmer Lake wants to build a house in the country, only he can’t get a permit because access is too difficult for emergency services to the location.

No problem, he says - there’s a bike trail. So what if hundreds, maybe thousands of people, including many children, use the trail every day… so what if part of the charm of the trail is that it’s a bit of wilderness and quiet just where we all need it. So what if that area offers some breathing space for the local wildlife. I want my house where I want my house. So, couldn’t emergency vehicles just use the bike trail ? And if a few 6 year olds get mowed down by a speeding firetruck, well, that just comes out in the wash.

Only on the north side of Colorado Springs I guess.

    doesn’t Palmer Park have like roads and shit going right up to it? I’m so confused…

    To be fair, it’s really in Palmer LAKE, not Palmer PARK. I don’t know how many people use the trail in Palmer Lake, but when I read the headline that this guy wanted to do it in Palmer Park, I was appalled.
