Love WS peps!
What a great idea, Lauren. Bees are so interesting and important to our very lives.
In the wake of the recent colony die-offs, I’ve read if the bees die, WE die.
The latest theory for colony collapse is linked to a pesticide that seed corn is treated with before planting.
But I digress…it’s a cool, creative and loving gesture to the community and the planet, and I’m interested. :)

Good luck!
Andres,

Conversationally, we discussed the $250k/mile figure, with a little extra for planning and unforeseen expense. Under promise, over deliver. I was suggesting compromise with a phased approach, but to SDOT it makes fiscal and practical sense to do it in one shot. I can be on board with that.

I don’t typically apply for the DoN grants myself, as I would then need to recuse myself from voting at the district level. However, I’m always happy to answer anyone’s questions about them, and provide what assistance I can. Not enough folks apply for them IMO, and the Parks dept and SDOT find great value in the applications even when unfunded. The Safe Routes grant is great, thanks for the tip.
