Re: Scenic route gets facelift- Examiner article July 24

I just got in from a trike ride down the River Rd and read the article about road crews ruining the scenery, and boy have they got it right.

The s-curve that goes under the Trent U pedestrian over-pass was repaved last year. They then put up a concrete barrier retaining wall all along it on the river side. It’s at least half a mitre high and really ruins a beautiful panoramic view of Trent U on the water. It has also blocked access to a lovely little shady nook, with benches for walkers, hikers and cyclists to tarry and enjoy the view.

This so-called road improvement is supposed to improve sight lines? It hasn’t improved sight lines for anyone. Please take down that ugly wall and gives us back our beautiful River Rd. If the city won’t consider its inhabitants, perhaps it will consider the tourist dollar.
