One of the neatest things I've seen in a long time is the Boulder Creek Path in Boulder, Colorado. My wife and I, after walking along it for a few miles, looked at each other and said "Why can't the Jordan Parkway become more like this?"

I am definitely for turning it into a green space - and even allowing individual cities to spruce and clean it up as much as possible.

Yeah there was talk like this 10 years ago and guess who always wins out? Developers!

In walking the entire JRP, it is obvious that the areas that ARE developed are safer, nicer, better maintained for all to use, that those that are not developed. Develpoment isn't just for making money, but in terms of asthetics and safety, not a bad idea while giving maximum enjoyment from a natural resource.
