Of course this is not true, since in 2007, the council decided that such a bridge would be dangerous and ill-advised and thus put a pedestrian bridge line item in the budget.</div><div><br></div><div>Nevertheless in 2009, it seems the decision was overturned, reversed or ignored, and the motor bridge put back on the table.</div><div><br></div><div>In Spokane on Aug. 11, a long planned crossover was scrapped in response to citizens and neighbors. Moscow could follow this excellent example. Let's not be the last community to make a mistake regarding encouraging more cars and trucks to drive through neighborhoods and past schools.</div><div><br></div><div>Joann Muneta, Moscow</div></div><div><br></div><div>--------------------------------<br><br><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">"Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)</span></div><div><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000">http://www.MoscowCares.com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></div><div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div> </div></div></div></body></html>
