Greater Greater Washington reports that County Executive Ike Leggett is proposing FY10 operating budget cuts for both roads maintenance and bikeways maintenance.
The proposed cut to the $18+ million roadways maintenance budget is $100 thousand. That is an approx. 0.5% cut.
The proposed cut to the $100 thousand bikeways maintenance budget is $100 thousand. That is a 100% cut.
The Interim Capital Crescent Trail is among the dozens of bikeways maintained by MCDOT. Oops, I should say formerly maintained by MCDOT.
0.5% cut for roads, 100% cut for bikeways, what more can I say?
