I don’t understand why they would cut funds on something that encourages people to get out of the house and be active. And if they are SO WORRIED about building new roads, why not invest in MORE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION? Despite the sad stories in the news recently regarding trains, I think the government would be SMART to invest in those rather than building new highways! Think about it, more trains to travel across the states would dramatically cut down on road work and can be cheap for EVERYONE!

Perhaps next budget, the funding will come back.

If they would stop building super highways to save a few minutes off travel time and maintain the roads we have now they would have the money to fund bridge repairs. Buying land and destroying homes to save a few minutes of travel time comes with a high price and lose of land.

I feel bad for the people who use these trails, but why can’t individuals volunteer to maintain the trails if they’re so upset? Our government is in so much debt they need to cut every program/expense that isn’t absolutely necessary (including Obama’s $100million vacations!).

Everyone should call the number given, maybe if everyone voices their option, it might help.
