Thank you, glad to see these kind of things made public and accessible.

[metro biking]

T - Appreciate the post RE LFUCG status reports. Maybe we could get these posted after each monthly meeting. I know people get frustrated at the bureaucratic pace bike/ped projects get implemented, but Keith, Kenzie and others in the MPO can only shepard through what comes available by funding. Additional interest and support from Community walkers and riders helps convey the message upward that there is a demand which helps money to flow back down.
See you all at Trailapalooza - just the kind of visible advocacy opportunity that gets attention - thanks Van, Zina, Dave, Boyd, Marty, sponsors, and everyone else.

Are all the paved trails also shared use paths? Meaning, they are open to bikes and pedestrians?
