Final Environmental Impact Report - Whittier Bridge/I-95 ...

On the cost front, we are in an economic crisis, but even ifwe weren't, the
government has no business spending taxpayers' hard earned money on items that are not
genuinely needed or warranted. Adding a pedestrian and bicycle path is an example of
such an expense, as I see it. I fail to see the benefit to the public at large that would
warrant this additional expenditure under these circumstances.
I suspect the federal government largess will just roll on and continue with its
plan in this regard but it strikes me as ill advised.
