Should have been passed over

A letter writer questions the value of a pedestrian overpass joining Rosemary Heights and Winter Crescent.

Editor:

My brother and me were discussing how after many months of admiring the new lighted walkway across Highway 99, we seem to have missed one fact – both of us have never seen a single person on the walkway.

Both of us drive under the Pioneer Cycling and Pedestrian Overpass at least twice a day… not one person.

Is this just another bureaucratic bungle or use of taxpayers’ funds?

I understand $3.2 million was spent on this.

Man, what a nice walkway from Crescent Beach to White Rock beach to be used by thousands could have possibly been built with these funds.
