Sheesh...two short-sighted city council members voted against the city of Shasta Lake from applying for $220,000 in CalTrans grants for bicycling infrastructure improvement projects (http://krcrtv.com/news#story4722).
The city would have only had to come up with $25,000 for this grant, but the anti-bike, "fiscal conservatives" killed the project. The city really could have used the jobs, and the roadway improvements would have benefited both cyclists and drivers.
Here's hoping that when voters think of council members "Ron Dixon (rondixon@live.com)" and "Dolores Lucero (luceroshastalake@aol.com)", they think "Penny Wise" and "Pound Foolish".
