Re: the Dec. 16 guest column “Study shows Velodrome would be an economic boon to Tucson.”
I am a new Tucsonan who was drawn here for the warm weather and for the cycling. My husband and I chose Tucson over every other southern, city in large part because of the cycling opportunities. We purchased a home and brought our financial resources to spend in the local community. We also bring many friends who also spend their vacation dollars here.A new park with more cycling facilities makes good economic sense for Tucson. It builds on the already strong base for the sport, which will continue to boost the local economy. And it is fun for Tucson locals, too! I support this effort and thank Damion Alexander for his hard work to make it happen.
