Given the rare taste of an early spring day on March 9, I took a run on the bike path, departing from Alumni Arena and heading to Niagara Falls Boulevard. During this run, I was again reminded of and bothered by an observation I had made last fall during similar runs. While the shrubbery, trees and other foliage along the bike path were seriously cut back after the tragic death of Linda Yalem to prevent those intending harm from hiding in locations close to the path (and a good job in general was done then), there is a great irony that the worst point on the path (my opinion) where the proximity of such shrubbery to the path could still allow someone to hide is right in the vicinity of the Yalem Memorial at about the 2.7 mile mark.
I appeal to those responsible for such maintenance to finish the good job done some years ago and cut the mess of (ugly) shrubs at that point back to a safer boundary before another tragedy - that would have a terrible irony about it - occurs again.
