yes, reading between the lines I came to the same conclusion.

States acting as barriers to local funding has a long history. My preferred solution is kill the federal gas tax (or reduce it to something like 2 cents) and makes the states tax gas at a higher rate and spend it. The block grants going to states are part of the problem, not the solution.

There is a logical problem as wel. Bike-advocates like to cite the low cost, but it is so low cost why do the federal grants exist as precursors?

If I put on my foundation funding goggles, federal funding for CABI as a test concept makes a lot of sense. Federal funding for Chicago or NYC? If Bloomberg thinks it is great, he can find the money in NYC.
