Re: Infrastructure

The Rahmfather is continuing Daley the Younger's quest for more bicycle lanes and paths. Seems the Rahmfather doesn't agree with you about bicycle paths not being part of the infrastructure.
Out here in the suburbs, bicycle paths happen on the "rails to trails" model. The CA&E became the Prairie Path several decades back, and now the Chicago and Western has become part of it when that old railroad became abandoned.
I could wish they'd used something other than crushed limestone for the paths though. Horses beat that stuff to death out on the outer legs of the path, you can hardly walk on them much less ride a bike.
