Daniel Spigai, one of the Army-Navy Country Club members who sued the club for the deal it cut with the County allowing a bike trail in exchange for a variance to build above height limits.
Their decision to convey an easement with 36 conditions of obligations, uses and rights exposes the club and its members to substantial risk of liability and a potentially dangerous intersection with the club's entrance drive, to cite just two concerns.
If they had gone with Jim Titus' property rights argument I'd not be offended, but instead he's trying to label the trail as a legal liability or danger and that's ridiculous.
Could they be afraid that the extra guests at the expanded clubhouse who drive home drunk will hit the cyclists--not realizing that there's a bike trail there now, or possibly even thinking that it is a public road?
