RGF president discusses Mayor Keller’s $80 million bike trail w/ KOAT TV

We discussed the details of the Mayor’s proposed mega-expensive $80 million bike trail here, but had a chance to offer a few thoughts in this story for KOAT TV Channel 7.

In summary, this is yet another “big ticket” taxpayer-financed project foisted upon us when what the City desperately needs is improved public safety and an improved economic climate (not to mention a better education system). A neon tumbleweed structure may be nice, but it is certainly not a core government function regardless of your broader thoughts on bike trails and Albuquerque’s extensive trail network.
