Can you imagine how awesome it would be for the disabled to get their very own lane and a pace that seems conducive with able body lifestyles.

I wanted the policy in part so that we would have on record Council’s support for ped/bike initiatives. Now that our draft ped/bike plan is online and we’re doing a public meeting next week, we and they need to decide whether and how to fund improvements–and if the city won’t fund them in some reasonable way, whether we should quit claiming it’s a priority and quit reaping the public support and publicity we’ve gotten.

$5 mil/year on Major Thoroughfares (which as yet are not complete)
$1.5 mil on repairs and widening of existing roads
$50,000 on sidewalks
$15,000 on ADA-compliance
