Hello Everybody,
Ali and I recently
spoke at the Urban Transportation Commission. We asked for 5.5 Million dollar
for EMLK Hike and Bike Trail. UTC recommended funding for the EMLK Hike and
Bike Trail through 2018 bond though they did not mention any amount. This is
what we asked for
- The La Loma Trail - $2 million
- Hike and bike trail through Morris Williams Golf Course - $1 million
- Little Walnut Creek Nature Reserve - $ 2 million
- Connectivity to Springdale Park - $500,000
This is what Austin
Monitor reported
I think this is a
pocket change compared to what we pay in taxes and compared to what we really
need (considering we do not have hospital , grocery, pharmacy).
This is as far as we
can take it as a contact team - the council members have to do their jobs and
get this funding so please make your voice heard before the election.
