He anticipated the project would be forthcoming in September and would take approximately two weeks depending on the weather. Mayor Votapka asked about the possibility of using gas tax funds for a bike path in conjunction with the paving, and Director Davis explained that gas tax funds can be applied to the construction of bike paths only in conjunction with new road construction. He noted that local citizen groups in the county are holding fundraisers to raise money for bike paths since there is no county revenue source at this time. The approximate cost for bike paths is $7.50 to $10.00 per foot. Commissioner Bird reported that the joint IRC/City of Vero Beach Bike Path Committee approved the master plan just this week for a county -wide master bikeway system and would start to prioritize sites for bike paths. 2 BOOK A f';, ,.Dig
