Ventura Steps Forward

Los Angeles has a very ambitious bicycle plan.  So does San Francisco, Davis, Long Beach and many other cities in California.  Add Ventura to the list.

The city council recently approved a plan to spend $23 million on bicycle projects over the next five years.  They’ve already secured $7.4 million for several projects to be completed this year.

The plan passed unanimously, but several council members cautioned that raising the additional millions in the plan is not a given, especially considering the prevailing attitude in the U.S. House of Representatives against expanded funding for everything but the Department of Defense.
