Highlighted passage: "The Department of Transportation recently learned of some available funds from past years, and officials have decided to use it on Beltline construction." How wonderful, in these times of imminent budget cuts where I fear the recently added bicycling line item is about to be nixed, that money has magically popped up to add capacity to the Beltline. Now, fewer babies will need to be born along an off-ramp. See: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg08985.html It's a shame that money like this never seems to turn up for bicycle projects like the much needed Perry Street Overpass, which was scrapped in order to expand road capacity in the Todd Drive Area. Or am I mistaken - could some of these "available funds" be directed at bike projects along the Beltline? Perhaps the enhancement money being mis-directed to the ped/bike components of the Todd Drive project that should have been funded with the regular road building fund can be recovered from this surplus so that enhancement justice can prevail? _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
