Sidewalks Before Bike Paths in Richmond Indiana
Please let Mayor Snow know that we need sidewalks in the entire city in good condition before we waste any more money on these ridiculous bike paths. Data show that less than 1/2 of 1 percent of Richmond residents will use these $5mil bike paths on a regular basis.
Mayor Snow needs to understand that with our aging population, residents need to be able to walk their own neighborhoods on sidewalks in good condition.
Mayor Snow needs to understand that every day a neighborhood goes without sidewalks, he is putting people's lives at risk. How safe is it for kids to be walking in the street at dusk on a poorly lit road because there is no sidewalk.
SIDEWALKS FIRST

Why is this important?
Sidewalks must come before bike paths that less than 1/2 of 1% will use.
