Dear editor,Re: Covered Bridge.When times are lean, one cuts back to the necessities and prioritizes — water, food, shelter, health. When times are good, the delightful extras can also be enjoyed.If a cycling bridge is wanted (by a handful of cities) — let it wait till times are more financially sounds, especially a covered (why?), expensive (why?) bridge that is going to benefit whom?And if it did indeed “become an attraction,” that means more people, more cars, to see it!The Valley has already become a congested mess of ill-thought-out planning and execution of resource allotment. Leave moonbeam politics to Vancouver.A. Vanthournout,Courtenay
