The good news is that people in Walla Walla are driving 6% less than they did last year, and by the end of the year, it's expected that it will be 10% less. So, less traffic, and probably more pedestrians and cyclists. Cool, right?
The bad news is that the city's road maintenance funds come from the gas tax, so that less driving means less money for road work. Specifically, it means less money for repairing or adding to our barely visible bike lanes.
More and better bike lanes would result in more adults riding for transportation. I'd be interested to hear from anyone with ideas to get bike lanes higher in the priority list.
