To the Editor:
I am writing to express my concern that the bike trails in our community are not being properly maintained by the county of Fairfax. Part of what makes Fairfax Station a great place to live is the biking trails, they encourage people to be active and enjoy nature.
I attended a public meeting where I asked how much money the county is spending on maintaining bike trails. I was surprised to hear that the budget doesn’t include money for maintaining of the bike trails. Over the years I have noticed the bike trails have become more cracked and bumpy due to normal wear and tear. If they become deteriorated to the point of not being able to enjoy biking and walking on them then our quality of life will suffer.
