Come out to Fort Worth some time. My office is less than a mile from the Trinity Trail. My alternate ride home follows it for a few miles. It's slightly out of my way, but not that much. In the next year or three I hope to sell our home and buy another; my new home will probably be much closer to the trail. The southwest portion of the Trinity Trail is lined with apartment buildings that are either right on the trail or just off it. The trail itself converges from several different directions in Downtown Fort Worth.
