And you are basing this on what... present day activity? That has never been the way future events ever worked in the past. I've never heard a politician run on what they will refuse to do if elected. Well... not and get elected that is. Change... is life's single constant.
Yeah.... a couple decades ago that all made sense. Now with a 20 trillion debt... I would NOT plan on all that federal money coming your way. Every dollar of debt devalues every dollar in public hands. If the nation borrows much more... it will be printing money not worth the cost of (imported) ink.
MA has a solid bike infrastructure! Here in the Midwest... I think we can see the cycling trend/fad dwindling-off a bit. But I am with it for life myself.
I love my MUP's..... but only the pyramid's are forever.
..... It falls under alternative transportation use under state and federal planning guidelines. As well as walking accommodations too. In order to get the funding and grants, the bikes and walkers have to be planned for. Yes, In MA, bike use, not sales are booming, Boston Bike share as well as all the commuters I see every week.

In MA we don't even have FRAP, let alone must use bike lane, let alone must use MUP.
So, until we have FRAP, until we have must use bike lane, I'm not going to lose sleep over I won't be able to ride on Mass Ave.
Sheesh.
