Soon we get to see the promised improvements in bicycling and pedestrian infrastructure. Thanks again to everyone who helped make this success possible. Measure B will generate almost $250 Million dollars for bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Overall, 2016 Measure B is anticipated to generate $6.3 billion in 2017 dollars for transportation improvements over the next 30 years. (More info)
