We Need Bike Lanes

There was a scuffle on Thursday that featured Wayne Hammond, Budget Director of the State of Idaho, shuffling off the idea that Bike Lanes were anything more than a North-End dream.  The meeting was featured in the Twitter Feed of Idaho Reports Thanh Tan, and the Boise Weekly's CityDesk editor Nathaniel Hoffman.  Sen. LeFavour wrote a great piece about it, and there are some excellent comments from readers.

Since that time, Idaho Reports taped it's weekly show, which featured Wayne Hammond! Betsy Russel asks "If the 'enhancement' fund is not going to be spent on bike paths, it's going to be spent on landscaping."
