It's going to be a lot of traffic for a residential street with no sidewalks and a real danger for school kids and other pedestrians walking along the shoulder of the road.

It dead-ends at Trenton and turns into a footpath. 26th sort of peters out north of Trenton among some houses also if I am not mistaken but the map shows it being a broad throughway. I also have to wonder why they don't route stuff down 24th which does go through and would knock about a mile off the detour. I'll bet a lot of people take that route anyway if they are smart.
