To the Editor:
I am concerned as president of the Great Falls Citizens Association (GFCA) because recently
a one-page document was hand delivered to some homes along Walker Road; it discussed
some issues with regard the replacement of the current one-lane bridge. This broadside was
written with liberal use of my name and email address, hence many Walker Road residents
called me, assuming I, as GFCA president, had written and approved that document. I had
never seen it and it was never discussed or approved by GFCA.
It is deceitful when a resident or group of residents distorts public communications. I would
like to let those Walker Road residents know that GFCA is engaged with the Virginia
Department of Transportation on discussions about replacement of that bridge, and GFCA, of
course, welcomes all Great Falls residents’ views on that replacement. But GFCA will not
seek to deceive residents as the author of this bogus broadside has done.
William Canis
President, Great Falls Citizens Association
