What is the $22 million for?

Why was Columbia chosen?

- Sen. Bond said, “The City of Columbia has long been a leader in supporting alternative means of transportation.” Hesaid, “In addition to encouraging walking and bicycling to reduce congestion and pollution, this project will promote healthy living for area residents. I am pleased I was able to secure funding to make this innovative program a reality.”
