Re: City needs to stop the nanny state attitude over our local waterfalls, July 13 Letters
Having grown up at Albion Falls, I have firsthand knowledge of the area and how beautiful it is.
I can see both side of this issue and know there’s an easy, safe way to get to the base of the falls. (Hint: Indian Trail).
So now everyone wants to come and see the falls. Great, it should add money to the area, but people get careless and slip and fall.
In an effort to curb the huge costs of rescuing the fallen, the city decided to put up No Trespassing signs and some fencing. Well, that’s an expensive joke on the taxpayers dime.
As seen on local television Sunday night, the police — sworn to uphold the laws — clearly were not issuing tickets to dozens, if not hundreds, of people clearly trespassing.
Why did the city waste thousands and thousands of taxpayers money? I’d also like to know why it will l cost at least $1 million for a set of stairs to the base of the falls.
If it does get approved, you better install an elevator for those in wheelchairs.
