        <title>What happened to the bike path? -  - MrsMcQ&apos;s Blog - Tehachapi News</title>
        <link>http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/MrsMcQ/13785</link>
        <description>I was at a City Council meeting last year wherein Phil Smith announced that the city had received a grant in excess of $500,000 to build a bike path that would basically run along the south side of Valley Blvd. from Curry to about where Sonic is. I never read about it in the paper and stopped going to City Council meetings after a senseless tongue-lashing from an ill-informed Councilwoman Hand and general frustration with the lackadaisical participation and overall lack of common sense by council members as a whole.

Anyhow, has anyone heard about this bike path or plans for it? I believe grants generally have a time limit in which to use them and wonder if this is another free community enhancement that will fall by the wayside due to lack of follow-through by city leaders?</description>

                <title>Aug 27,  2007 at 01:08 PM : I don&#039;t know...</title>
                <description>I don&#039;t know about the bike path, but I really wish there were at least sidewalks down Valley.&amp;nbsp; I would be able to walk to the grocery store, but as it is Valley is impassable with a stroller.&amp;nbsp; And I can&#039;t go across Cherry because there aren&#039;t any sidewalks there either.&amp;nbsp; The cars go pretty fast down Valley and I never walk along it because I don&#039;t feel safe.&amp;nbsp; I wish it had sidewalks all the way to Woodford-Tehachapi Road.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the positive side, the new improvements to Curry south of Valley are very nice.&amp;nbsp; Hopefully the improvements will continue for the area!</description>

                <description>A bike path is a great idea, anywhere communities can place them. And I&#039;m in agreement on the sidewalk issue. If the street is good enough for cars and businesses, then in the 21st century it&#039;s good enough for sidewalks.</description>
