To the Editor:

I am writing this letter to address the recent cancellation of the state Department of Transportation’s causeway shuttle service for bicycles and pedestrian traffic.

I found out rather suddenly on Feb. 29 that the shuttle service had been terminated on Feb. 26. I thought it strange that there had been no advance notice of this, although I knewthe shuttlewould be ending when that stage of bridge repair had been finished, making it “feasible” to be able to “safely” traverse the Causeway.
