Dear Editor: Titis letter is in response ta Rory McLeod's letter about thte praposed Maitamy bike pati t tat appeared in thte Augusi 17 Champion. Peritaps Ms McLceod would feci differcnsly if thte prapuised bike pat compromised her ciidren's safety. Tite bicycle pat is an issue for lte nortit side as well as te soutit sîde ofi the Hawthomne Village subdivision. Resîdenîs sitouid have a f ull understanding of te impact and safety cancems beLfore making blanket siatemenîs about thte bike patit being a parking issue. For titose of us titat didn*t have prior knowiedge of the bike patit. the proposai came as a sitock. Thte residents ai' Waldie Avenue look thte tîme Io investîgate and researci thte pruiposed design of tic bîke pat. Lîterature supports aur stance liata Uibke pat is a potentiai hazard f or drivers. pedestrians and cyclîsts. Accordiiig ta a 1993 report by Zeitnpfenning, Cramer and MacL-ennan, while strecîs witit iike patits carry oniy 15 per cent ai a city's bicycle traffie, those saine streets itosted 70 per cent of thte reportcd bicy- cle/motor veiticle accidents. Titis information was sitared with town counicil last faîl in bot an ouldoor community meeting and at a town counicil meeting. After sitaring aur cancems and researcht, il was unanimously agreed titat furtiter mnvestigation wouid be necessary ta determîne thte appropriaîeness of Uie location of the bike path. 1 agree with Ms McLeod that Uic proposcd coioured pathway extension ta Uice sidewalks is ridiculous, as we wauld continue ta have Uic sanie safety concerns. Itis current proposai would also entail Uic removai of te Irees titat werc planted on Uic boulevard. i wauld bc more than htappy ta sitare lthe extensive literature and researcIt ve acquircd over Uic past year with Ms McLceod and any interestcd parties. i titink thte iiabilîîy of Uic proposed bike path far out- weigits any perccived benefits.
