TRAIL PROJECT WASTEFUL

Re. Grantham Rail Trail could be up for debate, June 9:

I looked at the photo of the railroad trail and thought this is nicer than Walkers Creek Trail! Then I saw council wanted to spend $1.7 million to turn it into a sidewalk.

It seems council thinks civic improvement must include concrete and lots of money. No wonder folks who live there are unhappy. When I was able to ride a bike five years ago, I thought Walkers Creek Trail was ideal. I saw mothers pushing strollers, seniors strolling, kids on bikes, etc.

I can understand grooming the existing trail, perhaps placing gravel on low spots, but spending close to $2 million? That's a waste of taxpayers money and destroying one more of our city's little jewels.
