Marathon Part of City's Active-Lifestyle Events
RECEIVED Sat., Feb. 21, 2009
Dear Editor,
I personally feel that the city of Austin does a great job in coordinating and promoting active-lifestyle events for our community. I’d rather see people using the streets for exercise and charitable causes instead of polluting the city with fossil fuels. Anita Rice ["Postmarks" online, Feb. 15], if it only takes you five minutes to drive to your destination, why don’t you walk or ride a bike and make a positive impact on your community? There were signs posted for more than two weeks along every route of the Austin Marathon warning of possible delays, which I guess blew by you as you drove your car along your daily route. Until Austin citizens realize that our city infrastructure should be available to all forms of transportation use, we will not become a greener and healthier community.
