Stimulus paving....

As already mentioned elsewhere, the wow trail in Belmont-Laconia-Meredith seems to qualify for stimilus funding and it will be about nine miles x twelve feet' of asphalt paving, plus the underlying new landscape construction.

I have heard that pavement used in bicycle-walking trails utilizes a higher mix of recycled and shredded tires within the asphalt mix since it does not get heavy truck traffic and makes for a pave job with more elasticity. Sort of like a wood dance studio floor.
