I've known about the non-motorized trail grant program for years, but I feel a little silly admitting that I never knew that grant consideration is an open process with a public comment period. I thought that the public wasn't involved until the recommendations went to the Commission for approval. I'm guessing that the mountain bike community has been eating our lunch (as usual) in the comments department.
You can learn all about the program at the link above. At the very bottom of the page are the grant proposals under consideration this year. There are 17 construction applications, 15 maintenance applications, 12 planning/support applications, and 5 LWCF applications (different funding mechanism and requirements). There is a public comment period that ends this Friday.
I have not had time to look through this at all since it was brought to my attention last Thursday, but wanted to get it out there for folks to look, learn, and comment if so compelled.
