365 million, 8 mile bike path! That’s over 45 million per mile! WTF? This is the problem.

No matter what you think you've pulled
You'll find it's not enough
No matter who you think you know
You won't get through
It's a given, L.A. law

Shakedown, breakdown

Governments love their bike paths. Here in Virginia Beach, they do it in phases. Phases, that’s what you need, that way they can squander more money each time.

Phase 1: Estimated to cost $19.5 million. It will include 3.2 miles of trail, connecting the Newtown Road light rail station to Town Center with an elevated bridge over Independence Boulevard

Phase 4: Recently approved for a $23.8 million state grant from the SMART SCALE Grant program. This phase will extend the eastern part of the trail by 2.8 miles,connecting South Birdneck Road to London Bridge Road.

Now they are saying a billion dollars. A billion dollars for 8 miles of pathway. Hell I bet the Boring company could put in an 8 miles of pathway tunnel for a billion dollars.
