Roger, 
Here is a letter sent earlier this month which might be appropriate for your new website. Great idea. Thanks. Susan and I are in favor of the bike path study proposal.

Terri, 
Thanks for all you do. With regard to the recent spate of anti-path letters, I note one common theme, and a sub theme. All of the authors criticize the path proposal because it threatens to add paved or asphalted surface to the Island. As you well know, the proposal is for a path of stone dust which some think would fit in well with the Island atmosphere. Here is a picture from the actual proposal. The sub theme here is that evidently none of the authors has actually read the path proposal carefully enough to note the absence of an asphalted path. What to do? There will always be well intentioned folks who are against any proposal to change Chappy no matter what that change might be. It is clear that the authors of the recent letters may belong in this category. It's a shame that some folks will vote against a proposal without even taking the time to read it. Nonetheless, distributing these letters which incorrectly claim that the path will be asphalted spreads false information about the Chappy Path Committee proposal. Perhaps a footnote might be added to such letters saying "Consider reading the proposal before making your mind up." Perhaps an email to all stating that despite the suggestions of these letter writers, the proposal does not include asphalted paths would be in order.
