To All That It Concerns:

1) Can it be denied?~a bicycle trail will encourage fast or faster traffic?

2) Who will pay, support, and house the "Johnny on the Spots?"~a necessity to bike trails?

3) Who will pick up the extra litter/debris generated from bike trails?

4) Does anyone desire to view extra signs for bike trails?

5) Do we ignore impact to wildliffe impacted by bike trails? Who can deny that flora and fauna won't be impacted in some fashion from a bike trail?

6) Does the Edgartown Police force want to be summoned to Chappaquiddick for more issues? Who can deny more bikes, more people
mean more management?

7) Do people really want to change the vista of Chappaquiddick that has been substantially the same for at least thirty-nine years (according to my recollection)?

8) What is really driving the desire for a bike trail ~ could it be economics and ferry fares?? 

9) Exactly how many days are really impacted by moderate to heavy vehicle traffic? It appears perhaps, at maximum, sixty days out of 365 (60/365) or 16% of the year may have "heavy vehicle traffic." Please understand on Chappaquiddick the definition of "heavy vehicle traffic" means every fifteen minutes or so three vehicles may travel on the road from the ferry and of course an undetermined amount of traffic may be traveling to the ferry.

10) What is wrong with bicycles, pedestrians, skate boarders, roller bladers etc. sharing the road with vehicles and vice versa? Chappaquiddick can represent an area of common courtsey for all of the above.

11) Isn't it scary to think the state and federal government may get involved with this aspect of Chappquiddick, who really wants that???? 

Less is more. 

It is difficult to restrain. 

It probably is quite prudent to restrain with this project. Please stop and contemplate the ramifications of a bike trail on Chappaquiddick.

Should the squeaky wheel (I read somewhere that for 30 years or so the question of a bike trail on Chappaquiddick comes up) get greased in this case?

Thank you in advance for deep assessment of the true worth and value of suggested project.
