Holmes Run Bridge

[Bruce Dwyer]

Heads up.  The neighborhood to the east of Holmes Run is upset over
everything about the new bridge to Cameron Station.  They have complained
that it is too big,
that it is too ugly, that it takes too much room, and that it is there at
all.  Sandra Whitmore,
The Parks Director, is having to defend it against all these negative
onslaughts.  This bridge supports non-motorized transportation and all
the benefits that brings with reduced traffic congestion and cleaner air.
The bridge is an important link for cyclists and walkers, especially those
in the west end neighborhoods and our new neighbors in Cameron Station.
People will love that bridge later when Duke St. traffic is so intense you
can't get out of local
neighborhoods in a car. If you have the opportunity, some words of support
to city council members would be useful.  Del Pepper  delpepper at aol.com
lives at 4600 Duke and is hearing mostly negative stuff,
and need to hear good stuff for some balance.
Thanks
Bruce

Michael,
You might want to alert your neighborhood, which I assume is in
favor of it.
