Trying to be a squeaky wheel

I called the township recreation department to find out if the foot bridges are going to be replaced in the park. They said the bridges were on state land and the Dept of Environmental Conservation was responsible for the removing the bridges. So I called several offices of the DEP and finally spoke to the biologist who supervises the Clay Marsh. He explained that the bridges were becoming a hazard and are too expensive to maintain, so they removed them and will let the foot paths go back to nature. He asserted that the park gets little use and so the impact of this decision was minimal. I pointed out that the park IS used - I'm one of the users! But he was completely uninterested. I called my state rep's office and plan to call again. I was as much annoyed by the biologist dismissing me when I had taken the trouble to inquire.
