Reports have been circulating that the Seniors’ Advisory Committee supports the construction of the separated bicycle/pedestrian paths through Hadden and Kits Beach parks. These reports are in error. The SAC has not been formally consulted about this project and, as such, is unable to take a position on the matter at this time. This morning the SAC passed a motion calling on Parks Board staff to make a formal presentation to the SAC and discuss how this new path will affect older adults. We have also asked our Parks Board liaison, Commissioner Melissa DeGenova, to inform Parks Board staff and commissioners that we have not yet taken any position on this matter and that any reports to the contrary should be retracted.
