One can make up one's own mind about the necessity of the various road projects that are being recommended; but it is at least instructive to note how much farther money can go for bike lanes, transit, and sidewalks as compared to expensive road projects (like $10 million for the dubious Jennings Mill Parkway...)Â Having said that, the amounts of money rec'd for transit and bike lanes would have been un-dreamed-of in the days before BikeAthens...Â
