You guys won't build a road unless it has logical termini - right?-

A state DOT won't PLAN a road that does not have logical termini, but
it might be built in segments as money becomes available. Big
difference in the ultimate plan, and the execution of it. It seems
the same is true of bike/ped networks, at least when they are being
paid for piecemeal by development instead of being built as an end-to-
end larger public project. If things are being built piecemeal, one
would hope there is a regional plan in place that ultimately will
provide useful origins and destinations when everything fills in. I
understand the desirability and frustration of trying to set up a
regional bike/ped fund to build logical segments rather than piecemeal
frontage construction...I know a community that tried to do something
similar, and they couldn't get all the developers on board, so they
went back to the piecemeal approach.
