I read some press that said the business groups along Herndon Parkway do not want a cycletrack. Does anyone know why?
Not sure why, but business entities should be helped to understand the concept of "trail-oriented development" and how much money can come to a town which has safe, easy to ride bike facilities. A number of new case studies have been released lately.
I think Herndon has much to gain with a historic downtown with a popular trail running through the middle. Any cyclists will likely pass through the center of town, which would be great for local businesses.
I recommend that you submit feedback via email if you can't attend tonight. I received a follow-up note from a Council Member and a note from the Town Clerk in response to my email.
