Can  the Amundsen Trailway Bikeway be Saved?

 

Dear Mayor Bloomberg

Your Parks Commissioner has decided to use the funding for the Amundsen Trailway Bikeway elsewhere, thus leaving the Willowbrook Parkway without a defined, passive park use.

This leaves the land open to undesirable public works projects in the future, and denis us, our children and our children’s children the benefits of a neighborhood amenity and the enjoyment of protected open space.

Please, Mr. Mayor, restore the 20% City funding for the Amundsen Trailway Bikeway; make it a Parks priority; support actions to demap the Willowbrook Parkway and transfer the land to protected park status.

The Amundsen Trailway should be preserved as a woodland bicycle/pedestrian greenway. We do not have enough places where children can simply ride a bike and admire a little of nature.

Please help us to realize that vision.
