Let's pray for our bicyclist friends as they cross at the intersection of Bridge Street, Front Street, and the Route 441 bypass.

In both locations, they're competing with vehicle traffic.

PennDOT mows down butterfly habitat in Columbia
A reader from Marietta wrote to LNP with a concern about milkweed being mowed in Columbia at the Route 441 interchange of Route 30.
The reader's worries, which appeared in a letter to the editor, were about the impact on monarch butterflies since the distinctive black and orange butterflies lay their eggs on the underside of milkweed leaves. The larvae become striped caterpillars that eat the leaves as they develop into butterflies.

You have people coming from far away to use this wonderful resource in our midst. Why do they have to die or be maimed while doing so?
