95 signatures so far with lots to go before we reach 1000!  Don't forget to sign the petition and maybe a moderator or whoever could put it on Rfalconcam's FB page..I don't see that it's been posted on there yet. I do see several from BCAW have signed and skygirlblue has posted the link on their FB page for us.

We are not ignoring you. That's all I'm at liberty to say right now. Thank you for your patience.

June, Joyce, Brian, Larry O and I attended this meeting yesterday.  There were 4 proposed new pedestrian bridge concepts on display.  They were asking the public to rate them, least favorable to most favorable.  We were also asked to leave our comments about the project.  The possible zip line was not included at this meeting.

How did the other things look, Shaky? Thanks for representing us!

Sorry, I couldn't attend.

Even though the zip line wasn't on the agenda, did anyone bring it up?

I was working so couldn't come but I have been contacted by Jeff Rusack from news 8 who wants to do an interview w/ me in regards to the zip line

We asked about the zip line, but it wasn't anything that the attendees could talk about or knew about.  The 4 proposed bridges were interesting.  They would allow people to walk over the falls from the east or west sides of the gorge.  3 of the 4 had cables.  I gave the highest ratings to the one bridge that did not have cables.  Everyone I knew that attended also submitted comments stating that a wildlife/environmental study be conducted before anything was done.  As far as I could tell, this was just a preliminary meeting to invite folks to comment on what was being proposed.  It did not include Greentopia or the zip line.
