"Save" might be stretching it, but they certainly add value to a neighborhood! My favorite "variety show" of paths would have to be the string of New Urbanist communities along 30A in south Walton County, Florida, which include short boardwalk style paths providing shortcuts within a community (Rosemary Beach), concrete paths extending residential blocks (Alys Beach), paths connecting adjacent villages (Seaside and its neighbors), paths bridging water features to connect divided sections of a neighborhood (Watercolor), paths/dunewalks connecting to the beaches (ALL of the 30A communities), and the paved 19-mile Timpoochee Trail that parallels 30A and connects EVERY community for bicyclists with very little interaction with motor vehicles. There are also numerous hike-and-bike paths in the nearby state park, forest, and wildlife reserve. These paths are so popular that many resorts and other businesses make serious coin by renting out bicycles.
