It is hard to hear, but there are many who believe that making our 13 square mile patch a BFC is not a BFD. It is not going to transform America. And you know I support bikeways and most things related to alternative means of transportation..<br /><br />We will recall that you and a few others lead the early Transportation Committee meetings with a clear agenda. I was there. If you think back, honestly, you will recall that I predicted public pushback to the scale and depth of bike facilities. So the chickens have come home to roost, pun intended.<br /><br />As to the Parks Bond issue, good luck on that. Dunwoody just settled on the much ballyhooed Brook Run lawsuit, netting about $4Million bucks. If allocated to Brook Run, that should jump start programming and park infrastructure. I think we should make sure that money does go to Brook Run, without fail. <br /><br />Finally, none of the the points you make regarding outsourcing city administration 'leaving in a day,' have ever been threatened. If a contract is not renewed, the people that actually work in Dunwoody can and probably would be hired by the winning bidder. Loss of continuity is a risk with our type of governance structure, but the benefits seem greater. Lower long term administrative costs, better service levels, etc.<br /><br />Me thinks you are going to pull/push the bicycle lobby toward a certain candidate, making you Boss Joe! Given your advocacy skills and the small size of the voter bloc, wouldn't it be something to live in a place where the bike lobby is a pol power? <br /><br />Termites, indeed. <br /> Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751379074248257519noreply@blogger.com
