Mr. Martin Krieg

Dear Martin,
It was my pleasure to *welcome Don Loomis to Omaha and participate in
the National Bicycle Greenway. Thank you very much for thinking of me
and allowing me to be part of your event. Anytime I can be of service,
please feel free to contact me.

Best wishes,
Mike Fahey

WoW!! What an honor to to hear from you in this context Mike. I am
passing this along to our riders, sponsors, those other Mayors we
interface with and to the large community of cyclists who are tuned
into our efforts.

It's easy to see why you see the National Bicycle Greenway as important
considering the fact that a little digging has shown me that you have
one the finest networks of bike trails in the nation!! Wow. With your
communication director's help, I was able to find this awesome map
detailing the 80 miles of paved, interconnected trails you have there:

=v= Schweet! Notice how there's almost nothing going East/West
within the center of Omaha, though. If you zoom in and look
at the "Elmwood Trail" (which run SW to NE), you'll notice
one controversial trail that was one of the only ways to get
East/West. It was mentioned in this newsgroup last year:

=v= Turns out this project was approved. Public speakers in
favor came from the Sierra Club and Omaha Critical Mass. The
other leg of this trail (which finishes the journey NW to SW)
may perhaps be another controversy, for much the same reason.
I'm calling it the "Malcolm X/Gerald R. Ford Veloway," due to
the two birthplaces it'll be connecting. :^o
