Letter: Goal is public input on any crosswalk decision

Dear editor:

I believe that one or two brief corrections and further comment are needed in reference to the letter, Objection to a simple crosswalk speaks volumes (Dec. 9).

Contrary to what the writer has said, my only objection has been in the lack of clarity with respect to public input (and of those who would rather ignore it) in any final decision on a crosswalk. Therefore the issue of true colours is quite irrelevant.

Regarding my reference to LGBTQ “lifestyle,” as far as I can see, the definition of the word lifestyle does not exclude involuntary behaviour, which makes his suggestion to me quite unnecessary and look really very silly.

The belief that nine elected members of council might be supportive of his position does not alter or eliminate the importance of the need for public input.

In just one sentence, the entire economic argument of Jordon Williams is dismissed – incredible.

As I think most people already know, there is a lot more to this issue than just slapping down some paint
