Other Comments: We know of many neighbors that were pressured and/or mislead so much by the homeowners' assn, that they signed the opinion surveys in direct opposition to their true opinions. Anyone knowing the facts is left with one logical choice — do the sidewalks now. The aoals of Ram= (and their plans for Northfork) Include installation of walkways at some time; installing them now would cost less (overall costs will increase in the future, and certain things would have to be paid for two times - lawns, sprinkler, etc.); installing them now will mean zero additional cost the homeownela; there will be less inconvenience. to the community having roadwork and sidewalks done at ttle same time; it is safer to walk on a sidewalk than on a roadway; POlic safety should :)e our government's main objective — from that standpoint, there can be no argument. People who argue that it is fiscally irresponsible to spend money on this improvement, are forgetting that money will be spent on these walkways at some point, and that at that time the money could come from their checking accounts instead of MSA funds!
