Transportation Department Embraces Bikes, and Business Groups Cry Foul - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com

The economy is crumbling....jobless over 10% - theoretical 17 plus %....States budgets are cracking like pond ice in Spring....and they turn their laser focus on.....bike paths. Not that I have a thing against bike safety.....
But bike paths as a priority?

Transportation Department Embraces Bikes, and Business Groups Cry Foul - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com:

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has announced a “major policy revision” that aims to give bicycling and walking the same policy and economic consideration as driving.

“Today I want to announce a sea change,” he wrote on his blog last week. “This is the end of favoring motorized transportation at the expense of nonmotorized.”"
