Editor, The News:
Re: Million dollar bike path to nowhere (The News, Nov. 1).
Sandy MacDougall’s article encouraged me to do my own observation.
I travel that section of the Lougheed four times a day between the hours of nine and six.
Only once have I seen a person on a bike in the new lane. He was pulling an over-loaded grocery cart, and not wearing a helmet or reflective clothing.
It’s commendable to see our officials protecting cyclists, but as a tax-paying senior on a fixed income, I think the million dollars could have been spent to benefit all members of our community -– for example, 10 years of free parking at our hospital.
