MARYLAND BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN PROJECTS


This document is rather confusing as it is a six projection on what we plan to do/spend on bikeped projects.

BUT something exciting this year, for the first time ever we get to see Recreational Trails projects!!!

Maybe someone heard some of my complaints on that subject. But still there is the other issue of the $30k max per project (ref <a href="http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20100430170721104">http://www.baltimorespokes.org/article.php?story=20100430170721104</a>; )

Now if my math is right, what we have for 2012 is $115k. We were funded at $1,159K per year so $115K??? That does not seem right to me, OK, they say &quot;Typical projects&quot; still I would like to see a full accounting, somewhere. The next issue is other states are building trails with this fund and we are doing (for lack of a better description) trail maintenance? But it's hard to be that critical now that the state has started Cycle Maryland with its own funds. So over all I call this a good thing.

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
