Not sure why so many people here are against a large bike path that the city isn't even paying for
1) I think it will be underutilized
2) And yes taxpayers in EBR are paying for this project, BREC is putting up their match and I know many of us here pay Federal taxes too. It's not "free".
And the reality is this project is jus tone of many that the FEds can't afford. You can say we are just getting our share, but the problem isn't in getting your share; the problem is the Feds should never have gotten in the business of using federal tax dollars to pick and choose local projects to fund.
This project is a good example of how your federal tax dollars are being wasted.

I said the same thing when they built the path from Quail Drive to Kennelworth and was very wrong. I live in Pollard and see plenty of people using the path at all times of the day and even have used it myself several times (which I never would have done had a trail not been there)
