For those of you who bird Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, you might be interested in this. During our Van Cortlandt Park walks we spend a lot of time dodging bicyclists and joggers who for the most part are very respectful to our bird watching group as we are with them.
If this trail is paved, it means more traffic to dodge plus more loss of habitat and displacement of wildlife. Thanks for taking the time out to at least read the petition.
