Trump cuts $750 Million in Bike Trail funding

[Retro Grouch]

I don't see this trend ending until after the next election cycle.

I'm not sure if these cuts preempt Work in Progress in projects already underway

Note, parked, current Trail is part of  the Ohio state parks,  even though FLMT did apply for a federal  park classification.

Question:  Is the resurfacing project between South Town and Stubbs Mills Rd affected by Trump's $750 Million dollar cuts?  Or did the money for this project come from non-federal sources?  Inquiring minds are keen to know any details you can provide.

Thanks!

Money is currently coming from Ohio state parks budget and private donations. I am not sure if any of that money coming from the state is from federal funds?  

One of my annual donations go to the Friends Little Maimi trails blacktop program.

Yes, I too am an avid donator to FLMSP.  I'm cutting a check for another $100 as we speak.

If Simeon (former owner of the Corwin Peddler) had not created FLMSP some 20 years ago, various segments of it would have been out of service years ago.
