To the Editor:
I will not contest Mr. McGurkin’s assertion that both the bicyclist and driver share fault in the accident on June 29 (“County Not to Blame,” 7/8), but I take a strong issue with absolving Ocean County of any of the blame.
It is the county’s responsibility to create a safe environment for the taxpayers. The three north-south roads in Surf City, where Mr. McGurkin walks, all have two lanes of traffic and very wide shoulders. One has a median strip and another has real sidewalks.
