Dear editor,As an avid cyclist, I think a covered bridge for cyclists/pedestrians at the bottom at Sixth Street to Simms Park is a great idea at the wrong time!There are hardly enough commuters on bikes to warrant a third crossing of the Courtenay River. I believe that a better use of taxpayers' money would be to improve the cycling infrastructure in the Valley as a whole, encouraging people to ride more and drive less. A dedicated cycling/pedestrian path across Farquharson field to the 17th Street Bridge would be a much quieter, safer way to travel from East Courtenay to the riverside trails downtown.Once across the 17th Street Bridge, one could access the riverside trails and travel south towards Royston or north toward Fifth Street.
