Opinion: Have your say on walking, cycling

0

The goal is to answer the needs of pedestrians and bicyclists in Fishers, and it’s a noble one. The town has a Pedestrian & Bicycle Master Plan, but officials want your feedback. The idea is a thoughtful, strategic framework for expanding prospects for walking and cycling throughout our soon-to-be city. A community forum will be held at 6 p.m. on March 27 at Launch Fishers. This is your opportunity to become engaged in the effort, to ask questions and share your comments. These areas of mobility are important to a growing community. Does what the town has planned make sense to you, your family and friends? Can it be improved? Don’t miss the chance to learn and comment.

As if there were any doubt – Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign seems to have been launched last Wednesday, when she spoke in Montreal, telling her audience Russian President Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea is an effort to rewrite the boundaries of post-World War II Europe. “If he’s allowed to get away with that, then I think you’ll see a lot of other countries either directly facing Russian aggression, or suborned with their political systems so that they’re so intimidated, they’re in effect transformed into vassals, not sovereign democracies.” And her tenure as secretary of state did exactly what to prevent this from happening? Clinton 101: Bash away and watch the liberal media genuflect.

Line of the week – Steve was in the Los Angeles area last Monday, when the 4.4-magnitude earthquake caused rumbling in the pre-dawn hours. And then came the text: “Were you shaken or stirred?” Hat tip, Mr. Kelly. (Of note: Local L.A. television took great pains to show all the carnage, which primarily included a shattered planter on a patio. We’re not making this stuff up.)
