If the T is to come to Bourne, it should cross the Canal. The Flex bus should include stops at all public affordable housing complexes in order to make the Cape truly accessible to low-income residents. The very high usage of the Shining [Sea Bike] Path and Rail Trail bikeways shows the importance of safe bike facilities to tourists. We do not need a third bridge! There has been much discussion on an additional bridge and the impact that may have on bringing additional traffic to the Cape a complete impact study should be conducted. Create an environment where all road users can feel equal and feel safer. People come to Cape Cod for the quality of life. A sustainable transportation plan will support the unique characteristics of Cape Cod. Additional comments/questions?
