If volunteers clean up the trail, is the City still going to apply for funds from Measure S for the cleanup? I don’t think that the City should get the money for that portion of the trail if they don’t do the work. Let’s try to keep things honest.
Volunteers don’t manage themselves.
Dumbfounded, the city was awarded a grant to repave the bike paths fixing the cracks and resurfacing the bridges, this is work that cannot be done in a day with volunteers. The city does not apply for funds from Measure S, the measure S funds are for maintenance and on going, by using volunteers to do valuable tasks like the spring clean up helps those funds go farther. Thank you Sierra Nevada Alliance.
