[Carfreeliving] Will LA leapfrog San Francisco?

[Dave Snyder]

Considering that the amount budgeted for bicycle street improvements 
is so small (1:25 compared to Marin) it's not surprising that a 
change in overhead rates has such a huge impact on the budget. If we 
got $25 million for bicycle improvements dedicated to building the 
bicycle network in 5 years, a 25% increase in the overhead rate is 
trivial.
