Thanks for all your comments and input. This is a very valueable and important asset to the community and the Neck Road Residents. However, the plan didn't work so pressure needs to be mounted by residents to make it right. Once again, from my understanding, private money was raised to create this sidewalk - I don't beleive it's taxpayer money or ever intended to require taxpayer maintenance. As bicycle folks admit, they won't use the sidewalk as requested due to safety issues and damage with their bikes. As one person said, they should have gone farther back from the road to create a safety distance from constant high speed cars on this winding secondary road with lots of turning traffic. They need to provide full pavement with no stones or gravel between. They could raise the sidewalk as in all other city sidewalks and resolve the winter maintenance issue or choose not to maintain the sidewalk during snowcover months. The bikers are creating safety hazards as the road is not safe or wide enough to pass bikers who refuse to move off the road. Lets band together and communicate with the association , town , engineers , etc. to force a correction and resolution to this major project. We don't want the final phase to be designed and wasted monies spent for the same results! Keep the communicaiton lines open! Thanks again for all your proactive and positive input to create a resolution!
