Governor Seeks Input On Stimulus Projects

As we reported earlier, the Commonwealth of Virginia has put up a website to collect your input on how to spend the Stimulus money:

http://stimulus.virginia.gov

We urge everyone to push for bike-ped projects — to promote exercise and healthy lifestyles for our citizens, and sustainable transportation options; to reduce our dependence in foreign oil, and reduce air pollution; and to generate jobs and grow our economy, by promoting tourism in the Commonwealth.

Both individual residents and local governments can submit their ideas and projects. We hope our local governments have already been working hard on this. But now might be a good time to check in on them, and maybe give them a little push!

Please submit your ideas, for bike trails or paths, or bike-friendly road improvements.
