------=_Part_683_28417946.1334275204417 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 A newbie to the group here, but I wanted to say this is a great topic. Right now is a catch-22 with the funds tight everywhere, cities are less willing to spend money on things like bike infrastructure which they consider frivolous right now even though it is a good financial decision in the long run. It irks me to know end when I see the wasted funds on road repair over and over again without a moments thought to how cheap and easy adding some bike infrastructure would be along with it. As for the plan, I think focus on the economic benefits, as that is where people are feeling the pinch and that is where they are looking for relief.
