"So, for me a better example than funding rail would be funding the
construction of new and repair of old asphalt roads, especially those
without bike lanes. There are sections of Portland with lots of unpaved
roads. The people near them tend to do interesting things with them,
including the unauthorized planting of gardens and such. We even have a
charity devoted to tearing up dilapidated paved areas."

I looked at their website and they talk about numbers like 2000 square feet
and 2 acres.  Tearing out a whole backroad (I can think of some in the
Oregon country that might as well go) would seem to require dump trucks and
pavement pulverizers. Million dollar investments.  And of course unless the
idea is to be an eco-terrorists, that would require approvals from the
county.
