    Mr. Martin Krieg

    Dear Martin,
    It was my pleasure to  welcome Don Loomis to Omaha and participate in
    the National Bicycle Greenway. Thank you very much for thinking of me
    and allowing me to be part of your event. Anytime I can be of service,
    please feel free to contact me.

    Best wishes,
    Mike Fahey

    WoW!! What an honor to to hear from you in this context Mike. I am
    passing this along to our riders, sponsors, those other Mayors we
    interface with and to the large community of cyclists who are tuned
    into our efforts.

    It's easy to see why you see the National Bicycle Greenway as important
    considering the fact that a little digging has shown me that you have
    one the finest networks of bike trails in the nation!! Wow. With your
    communication director's help, I was able to find this awesome map
    detailing the 80 miles of paved, interconnected trails you have there:

    =v= Schweet! Notice how there's almost nothing going East/West
    within the center of Omaha, though. If you zoom in and look
    at the "Elmwood Trail" (which run SW to NE), you'll notice
    one controversial trail that was one of the only ways to get
    East/West. It was mentioned in this newsgroup last year:

    http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=860c5ab.0302201337.1ce95cd5%40posting.google.com

    =v= Turns out this project was approved. Public speakers in
    favor came from the Sierra Club and Omaha Critical Mass. The
    other leg of this trail (which finishes the journey NW to SW)
    may perhaps be another controversy, for much the same reason.
    I'm calling it the "Malcolm X/Gerald R. Ford Veloway," due to
    the two birthplaces it'll be connecting. :^o
