(we are just over the County line from them now.) I am repeatedly astounded by the price tags on bike facilities. I guess I'm just out of touch with the cost of things. But I was on a village committee that got three federal grants for three different bike or pedestrian projects. Ultimately we had to forego the last one, for what would have been a nice creekside walking (not bike) path. It's a long and sordid NIMBY story. But the head of our Streets Department advised me that for the next such project, just let them do it without a federal grant. He felt the federal requirements added so much cost that the village would come out cheaper just doing the job entirely with local money. -- - Frank Krygowski |

I suggest that during your next election campaign you announce that you plan on building 8 million dollar bicycle paths....
