I can't believe that Metro Pulse even published this letter. I understand freedom of speech but Holly's letter has so many unsubstantiated claims it is ridiculous. I did a search on Holly and ran across a few more of her unsubstantiated articles and letters. I work in the environmental industry and I can guarantee that this woman has no clue what she is talking about. Has Holly even seen the trails she is complaining about? Before the mountain bike club came in, many portions of the trail system were a complete dump that is now cleaned up. I go there frequently and the whole system provides a recreational opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts and local residents. There is no question that the trail system has improved the quality of life for so many including the rich, poor, black, white, and any combination you can think of. And greenways....has Holly bothered to look at the MPC long-term plans for the greenway system? It appears to me that the greenways will/are evenly distributed across all sectors of the county and city. The City just finished up a new segment of the greenway alongside the interstate at Papermill. Holly has offended the hard work of so many with this letter it would be impossible to list them all. Please Holly, move somewhere else. Knoxville does not need your ignorance and prejudice.
