Dear Selectmen:
In these troubled times, with many year-round islanders struggling to sustain a decent living for their families, I submit that the Town of Edgartown can find ways to spend $75,000 or even $25,000 which would better benefit our town residents and their families.
I'm opposed to the bike path in general: it would be one more step toward making Chappy a manicured, elite resort community. And I'm not convinced it could be built without disturbing our fragile natural surroundings. 
At this particular time - when our nation's financial condition is faltering - expenditures on bike paths (or bike path studies) seem very frivolous. 
Please put this one on the back burner, and spend your valuable time, and our limited funds on more serious needs that benefit the whole Edgartown community.
Thank you,
Mary S. Spencer
