This makes me so angry! The Boston Globe reports that “Massachusetts has been allocated 5 million for bike and pedestrian funding since 1991, and has used .1 million.”

“Durrant said the historically low rate of spending on bike and pedestrian projects in Massachusetts reflects decisions by past administrations to channel every available dollar to highways, especially the Big Dig, the billion Central Artery/Third Harbor Tunnel project.”

When people complain that we don’t have the bike infrastructure to accommodate a bike share, the main reason cited is that the money doesn’t exist to create one. But it turns out it DOES! Garrrrr!
