Dear Editor:
Re: New Sidewalk Not Welcome, Dec. 31 news story.
As a frequent walker down Moody Avenue who has had to dodge vehicles on more than one occasion, this article made me feel very sad.
When Ridgeway (area) residents say sidewalks are not welcome on their street, what they are really saying is that outside residents walking through are not welcome.
What an extremely selfish attitude to be more concerned about their gardens (which are on city land - our land) than the safety of me and my children as pedestrians.
And why does the Community Charter allow street residents to trump the safety of children walking through their neighbourhood to school? Can residents who deny a sidewalk be sued in a future court if someone gets hit by a vehicle?
