[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that there's urban planning bro in Fairfax Co who needed something to write on his resume and who wants to be nominated for some award at the next urban planning bro conference.[/quote] You're close. There has been a cycle (pun intended) of public and private grant funding for bike lanes available since they became in vogue over the last few years. My municipality does not have a strategic plan or conduct community needs assessments. Instead, it chases grants, and that is the direction in which we go. We have 5 bicycle lanes currently underway, as we have gotten Maryland state grants for them. It makes city leaders feel righteous and the rest of us not so much, since the lanes are put on streets cyclist don't favor. No telling what's next.[/quote] Finally an explanation that makes sense![/quote]
