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 "Typical projects" 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.
