Do you know where Galloway is? To me that is no where near the inner core. It actually promotes sprawl.

I ride my bicycle from Galloway, through MSU and downtown, to C-Street many Sundays each year as part of a recreational group ride. It is not feasible for our group to ride from Ozark/Nixa/Republic/Ozark/Rogersville/etc to the downtown area or C-Street. Galloway is very close to city center in comparison.

Don't bring those weak legs into this.

None of those are in Springfield. I'm officially confused what your point is... Galloway (and Springfield for that matter) has welcomed the bike riders. I haven't hit a single one yet. Galloway is closer than entire towns you are correct there. I wonder what you bike rides will look like with ~200 extra cars on that tiny street.

The city has already sprawled around it. It's not near the core, but it also isn't out on the edge either.

Sprawl would be an area that is not yet developed. Galloway has been in existence longer than either of us has been alive. Do you consider infill apartments where a building once stood within the city limits “uncontrolled expansion of urban areas?” Or “spreading of urban land on undeveloped land near a city?”

Curious if you begin all civil discourse with “Do you know…?”

Nah, I'd prefer to start it with listen here, ignoramus. However, that would lead to a breakdown of what I'm attempting to do which is share knowledge and understanding to get to a common ground.

So in sharing knowledge and information, a kind way to do it is to assume the person is just unaware. Like, Hey, did you know your comment was unnecessary and doesn't add to the discussion of the OP's question?
