Anti-trails Amendments to the 2010 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Bill Defeated
Comments (0) The Senate rejected several amendments to the 2010 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Bill (H.R.3288) that would have directly threatened the protection and establishment of trails, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and habitat connectivity projects. A significant amount of funding for trails comes from this bill. The defeat of the amendments was in part due to an outpouring of opposition from trail users, bicyclists, conservationist and transportation planners across the U.S.
