Do we really need 180 million dollars worth of traffic synchronization, sidewalks and bicycle paths?
Considering the cries from some for BR to be more walkable, I figured they were trying to address that.

They are addressing that, but if you are voting on a 180 million dollar plan to improve sidewalks, synchronization of lights, landscaping, and bike paths shouldn't you have an idea of what they are talking about?
Ride around BR now. I see sidewalks and bike paths being covered over now with grass and mud. They aren't taking care of what we have now. I want to see us fix what we have and a plan for the new stuff, and what we have now isn't telling me much.
But I know 180 million dollars could go a long way if applied to fixing traffic and improving the surface streets if used wisely.

Is this a huge problem?
I realize there is a need for sidewalks in places, that can't be denied; however, do we need 40 million dollars worth of new sidewalks?
At 485K+ per mile maybe we need that many new sidewalks. I don't know, but I haven't seen a case made that tells me we need 82 miles of sidewalks.
But maybe we do then Broome needs to make her case.
