Dear Editor:
I would just like to bring to attention the poor state of a section of the Central Valley Greenway cycle route, between Cumberland and Debeck street on Columbia. I cycle that route almost daily, as do many other cyclists, pedestrians and scooter riders, usually between 7:30 and 8 a.m. Monday to Friday.
I am very concerned about the state of the pathway. There are two sections of the sidewalk have collapsed and there are many uneven sections and bumps. The route itself narrows to a single-width sidewalk with heavy traffic coming out of the Brunette left turn, including semi-trailers that are inches away from the curb.
I think a solution that could increase the safety of all users would be to have a guardrail on that block of the route. This sidewalk is in poor condition and is an accident waiting to happen, especially for seniors that live in the area.
