Majority Rules
Talking to a politician recently, I mentioned the need for elected officials to support public access along the Sacramento River Parkway.
This politician understands the problem: private fences blocking public access, a few homeowners trying to delay completion of the levee bike trail.
“I agree with you,” the politician tells me. “The city needs to finish the bike trail. The public needs access. But we have to respect those homeowners. They need compensation.”
Now I get frustrated. The politician, whom I’ve known for years and consider smart and informed, sounds oblivious to the biggest obstacle slowing the bike trail through Pocket and Little Pocket.
