Picnic Point has been a favorite spot of mine for years, so I’m glad there are plans to clear invasive species and make the site more accessible.
However, I was puzzled that some people involved in the planning process think handrails would make the steps too obtrusive.
People who visit Picnic Point all share one characteristic: they don’t know at what age they might need a handrail. Balance problems can affect the young and fit as well as the elderly and disabled.
