The promenade's lamentably abrupt end as a freeway ramp slices through it (colored in red). The image illustrates what Fumihiko Maki refers to as linear segmentation; fragments of urban development organized along linear topographic features. Often in a case such as this the pedestrian path is reconnected via raised or lowered walkways (you can see from the building spacing that the canal continues into the distance), but here I had to walk about two hundred yards to navigate the barrier.
