Lots of things are happening at the federal level, and the League of American Bicyclists alerted us of a potential cut to any federal transportation funding that involves bike lanes. For Madison, this would likely delay or stop projects such as the John Nolen Drive Causeway reconstruction, or the dozens of projects funded through the city’s Safe Streets and Road for All grant. Please sign the petition to oppose these cuts, in Madison and nationwide. Here’s the Bike League’s message:
Here is the Bike League’s message:
We need your help. Reports indicate that federal funding for bike lanes and other important transportation projects may be frozen soon. We know that these projects save lives.
