Strike out the writer's opinion(s) in the letter

• In summary, I am totally in favour of tackling the traffic congestion problem in our town with practical solutions.

• I really hope that the city council will take my suggestions into consideration.

• I am writing in response to the article that I read about the terrible traffic congestionin the city centre,

• I strongly agree with doing something to improve this situation.

• In my opinion, there are a number of solutions to the problem.

• In addition, I would suggest introducing a bicycle rental system together with the construction of new bicycle lanes.

• Residents would be able to pick up a bike at various stations for a small fee,

• ride the bike around town, and then drop it off at another station near their destination.

• This way, many people would be happy to leave their cars at home as cycling is fun, cheap, and keeps you fit, too.

• First of all, I suggest that a congestion charge should be introduced that drivers have to pay before they can drive around town.

• Consequently, many drivers would be put off by this and not drive their cars;

• they would be encouraged to walk or use the town's excellent public transport system instead.
