Ebbetts Pass Planning Director condems bike trail--waste of money

   At the last Calaveras Planning Directors meeting (and they are meeting every week, working on the General Plan) Lisa Meutterties was quick to condemn and belittle the 1/2 mile bike trail that was pushed and built in Arnold using state and local monies.

   Adding it to the Rim Trail, it cost over $600,000 of our tax money to build.  This is one of the big issues that cost Merita Callaway her Supervisor seat. Meutterties was addressing a bike path promoter who wanted  to force the county to widen all the roads so he can ride his bike.

   As Meutterties stated, bicycle riders (and there are very few that we've seen in Calaveras) want the other taxpayers to pay for them to ride, instead of raising their own money to build bike trails.
