A bit further north, at the southern intersection of Meadow and Franklin:

There's a matching one at the northern intersection. Most of the Wright-designed homes are on Meadow.

I think you're referring to three ravine on Sheridan just north of Tower.

Yes, riding Sheridan between Your and Scott has been forbidden since someone in the 90s. I got a ticket in (I think) the summer of 2020 for taking that route. Presumably, bikes are excluded for safety reasons, but I've never gotten a clear explanation of why it's still off-limits. Once upon a time the road and sidewalk through there weren't in very good shape, but the resurfaced everything a few years ago. Still paternalistically off-limits...
