If -- IF -- there is some huge amount of unmet need for disabled folk to access these trails (which I have not heard or seen), let's explore other options -- like a fleet of off road wheel chair+ gear to give folks access to the park as-is at a much lower price point.

This bike path would destabilize the riparian zone and likely result in extirpation of this species, and loss of a unique pocket aquatic biodiversity within our area. We already have ample bike trails and recreational opportunities in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area, let’s keep the buffer zone unpaved to ensure the survival of our aquatic ecosystems!

Paving right next to the creek and making a 10 foot clearing on each side of the trail would destroy a very fragile and important environment; channelization of the creek and the introduction of even more impervious surfaces will only make flooding worse, and more construction will choke the creek with sediment, killing what wildlife is left. Not to mention, the whole premise of this project is to increase bike ridership in order for Carrboro to sell itself as a bike-friendly town. The costs far outweigh the benefits, and there is no up-to-date research to support this claim. Also, as someone who was hit by a car riding in the BIKE LANE in Carrboro, if this town actually cares about increasing bike ridership, you would do so by making safe bike lanes which do not suddenly dissipate and are respected by cars. This proposal is absurd, and goes against the wishes of the town council's constituents who will vote you out.

Haven't the skeletons of ghosted strip malls taught us enough? Maybe not in our immediate towns, but we see them in our travels. What forests were felled for cheap plastic commodities that land in our rivers and oceans and wreak layers of damage to ecosystems that we are a part of? When biodiversity is lost, we are lost. First, spiritually and later, physically because it sets off a chain of events that come back to haunt us. (Think climate crisis.) This decision about a new transportation route may seem inconsequential, but every decision like this has brought our world to where we are in this moment. It should enough that this action would destroy habitat for wildlife to stop it. (Haven't we taken enough already?) But, ultimately we do tremendous disservice to ourselves. This is a time rewild, not unwild. This is what the Earth needs, what our teenagers and children want. Saying, “no” to this unnecessary convenience is the practical, fiscal and moral thing to do.

Thank you.
