Again, his concern over funding sources is a dang ploy to throw a stumbling block in the way of something he opposes on idealogical grounds.
I hope we're all smart enough to distinguish the I-5 freeway and Disney Way as part of the transportational system that gets us to the park, and the monorail that is not, even though it is used for transportational purposes
within the park.
Given his clearly stated support for transportational bike paths to be supported by transportational funds, and his support for recreational paths within parks that do not serve transportational purposes for anyone outside of the park with park/recreational funds (that's how I understand his position), I don't see how you can come to the conclusion that he opposes paths on ideological grounds.
And John Forester, who has spent tens of thousands of dollars of his own money recently, to support the legal cause of having bike paths surfaces and physical support maintained to the same standards as roads and sidewalks, is hardly acting like someone who opposes paths on ideological grounds either.
