Al, thats great to hear. Unfortunately, the Town of Middleton is waffling on bike lanes on Old Sauk Road:
http://host.madison.com/ct/news/local/govt_and_politics/article_b3533244-507e-11df-bb09-001cc4c03286.html Does it really cost 50% more money to add 25% more width to a road? Anyway, Ivey hits on the real problem here: "Hiniker says most drivers assume the taxes on gasoline cover the expense to build and maintain roads. But he notes the state's transportation fund — which is basically the gas tax combined with vehicle registration fees — provides only 60 percent of local road funding. The rest falls to property taxpayers."
