I want to post this here, because I think it's important to realize, and frankly, in an election year especially, that some councilors do not accept that biking, transit, walking are valid forms of "getting things done" and not just "recreation".
I bike to work, many coworkers do, so it's incredibly disappointing to argue that the primary purpose of regional roads is moving goods and traffic, and that active transportation uses are secondary to that, my active transportation *IS* moving goods and people for economic purposes. And a whole lot more people *want* that as an option, and that is an explicit goal of the plan.
