Facilitating cars not going anywhere trumps bike lanes


B' Spokes: I never really understood why it's governments obligation to provide parking for businesses free of charge. If a business wants a parking let them pony up ~$2000 a spot every few years (IIRC). If businesses were actually paying for their parking we could move it from on-street to a vacant lot turned into a parking lot, we would have options to accommodate all users but as it is there is barely money to keep the status quo. Think about this: Exactly how much gas tax is generated by a stopped and parked car?

I know home owners that are charged for sidewalk repairs and alley repairs, so why are business exempt from on-street parking repairs?

Bike lane in LaVale is an uphill journey
Cost, parking logistics throw a monkey wrench in the works

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.
