ReplyI live along the bugline & have direct access to it. I run on it, walk it, and LOVE its natural beauty & kindness to my knees.. Yes it gets wet & soupy but that's the natural beauty of it.. I think its a waste of money to pave it & will not appreciate the increased width when it will mean clear cutting even MORE brush & trees to make it 10 feet wide. And "more accessible to strollers" is just an excuse. Most parents i know have a 3 wheeled stroller (like i do) which glides smoothly over the limestone when running while pushing your children.. its not broke; don't fix it! And Couldn't this money be spent on better things like paving roads?!!

Well written, well thought out. You have expressed exactly how we feel. We live directly on the bugline and have small children. Our greatest fear of the paving is our children getting run over due to more traffic & higher speeds. We will be at the meeting in May. Thank you!
