    The new bills essentially say that bike lanes and pedestrian facilities can only be improved upon or added to a highway project if they provide a secondary benefit to the project, or are near schools or parks, or if there are federal regulations requiring such action. Any elected person who tries to infringe on these laws can be charged with a misdemeanor and punished by up to a year in prison and $1000 fine.

    I’m in Meridian ID right now for a week (suburb of Boise) and the carbain here is astonishing. And to think that city planners intentionally knowingly built it this way… it’s gross

      They’re seeing folks from Washington come over the border looking for cheaper real estate and they’re freaking out.
