Two problems with the link

Wed., Feb. 26, 2020

The article (Centennial Trail link draws local pushback, Jan. 27) was interesting but not complete. The real problems are not physical or planning. The real problems are: 1. The lack of citizen involvement; and 2. The violations of homeowners’ property rights.

We still have time to change that unfair process. Just because there is a federal grant to be claimed is no excuse to ignore citizen/property owner’s rights and input. Slow this down and make the right decision in a fair, thoughtful and careful way.
