Hi, Darwin -
I sense a little frustration . . .
As a life-long PA resident and having some involvement in local and State government, I wouldn't be looking to the PA budget to be providing improvement anytime soon. It's all our budget can handle to support the current, aging infrastructure. Add to that a governor more interested in funding alternative energy issues than repairing that aging infrastructure, and you'll find bike lanes and MUP's pretty low on the list.
Local government budgets are hamstrung. In the Susquehanna watershed, our backs are against the wall with the unfunded Chesapeake Bay Strategy. Again, money for MUP's and bike lanes is low on the list.
Private initiatives and new development might just be the best options.
And that's all I have to say about that
Maybe we'll see you in Lancaster again in August? Hope so!
Beth
