Rushton letter: Greenbelt repairs

The sinkhole outside BSU was fixed within a couple of days. What a shame that many weeks after river flows have dropped there is still no sign of repairs starting on the sections of the Greenbelt damaged by flooding.

This lack of action appears to show that our city values the convenience and safety of those who drive more than that of those who choose, or have no option, but to travel by bike or foot; forcing cyclists and pedestrians onto busy and dangerous roads. No road would have been closed for this length of time.
