But thanks to City of Brownsville commissioner Rose Gowen and past administrations, the city has made sure that well-heeled recreational bicycle riders on the Brownsville’s Historic Battlefield Hike and Bike Trail have it easier and safer to walk and ride through at night.Every Certificate of Obligation issue that includes transportation projects must include 10 percent of it for hike and bike trails. That has put close to $5 million for Gowen's pet projects.
New rest stops and a glow stone trail project with a budget of $90,000 from the Parks and Recreation Department budget have eased the efforts of recreational cyclists to travel along the city's northern neighborhoods and far from the barrios.
The project was divided into three phases. The first phase is being installed from FM 802 behind the Brownsville EventsCenter. The second phase will be from East Morrison Road to Alta Mesa Boulevard and the final phase will be on Aurora Street.
“In the spots where there’s missing light it will at least have some photoluminescence for seeing the trail,” Parks and Recreation Director Damaris McGlone said.The city’s Parks and Recreation Department installed the trail. The glow stone product is from Core Landscape Products.
“Looking online and seeing what other cities are doing and more in Europe you see these glow stone trails and so it’s a great way to help light your trail and have a safer way to travel at night, so hopefully, over time all nine miles (of the trail) will get that,” McGlone said.
We wonder, has the city administration and Bus-Metro looked online to see what other cities around the world are doing to shelter their bus riders? How many simple benches and overhangs could be built to protect bus riders like this woman for the $90,000 it cost to build the "glow stone" trail?

Jesus, how many times can you post this story? Why don't you roust some of your pals and go build a few bus shelters. The poor always want more. Walking and biking is good for you!
Its called Rest Area for cyclist soon to have a city employee distributing free bottle water, and other goodies at the expense of bus riders, take that to the voting booth. They already have a bike shop with free services.
And what does the city give to the elites? Shit that they don't need or use guay...at 9:35am

And they pay taxas unlike the blue blood that live in historical homes and pay no taxas on their lots, dance halls, warehouses and who knows what else and have streets with their family names. BOLA DE MAMONES !!!
Trump, March 2020: "I have been diagnosed with an incurable case of bowel cancer, so I will not be running for a second term" The red hats cheer wildly because that's what they do when Fatty speaks.
Brownsville is the cesspool of the RGV, the place for dickless Babosos like @9:56. BTW, the "elites" in Brownsville are not elites elsewhere in the state!! LMAO
City should enact a Taco Tax (a dime for every taco sold) to fund mass transportation and shelters for the poor. The way people in town eat, it would probably pay things in a month! Monorails and subways would follow.
Has Gowen ever rode a bike in her lifetime? For someone that promotes exercise, she sure does not look like one that enjoys any type of activity! Maybe she can invite Art "La marrana negra" Rodriguez on a bike ride together.

Useless bike lines and trails will be the priority until she gets booted out. The Mayor has not fulfilled his promise for Sunday bus service and probably never will. But get ready for Cylovias, another waste of tax money.
Uhhh
You need a permit to distribute water bittles in Brownsville
Just come to san bene
We have beautiful permanent bus shelters on every block with clay roofs and benches in our downtown.
The death of Brownsville continues with these idiots as the COB commissioners. Bikers have more rights than motorists because bikers don't have to follow any rules or have insurance to be riding like a pack of fools.

HOUSE BILL 1053
Vetoed: June 15, 2019
Author: Rep. Ryan Guillen (D-Rio Grand City)
Sponsor: Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. (D-Brownsville)
Governor Abbott said in a statement:
House Bill 1053 has two fatal flaws:
First, it would exempt the Willacy County Navigation District from competitive bidding requirements applicable to all other navigation districts, allowing it to donate, exchange, convey, sell, or lease a real property interest for less than reasonable market value and without providing public notice.Second, it would authorize the Port of Harlingen Authority to impose an ad valorem tax. This exception to the general laws of our State would unnecessarily undermine the tenets of transparency.
THANK YOU GOV. ABBOTT, FOR BEING OUR PROTECTOR AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
WE DO NOT WANT TO GO BACKWARDS IN TIME, IN DRINKING GROUNDWATER.
WE WILL GO BACK AND VOTE THIS MAN OF FAITH AND OF MARIHUANA, OUT OF OFFICE.
HB 3356 by Rep Eddie Lucio, III – FAILED

HB1059. Vetoed: June 15, 2019
Author: Rep. Eddie Lucio III (D-Brownsville)
Sponsor: Sen. José RodrÃguez (D-El Paso)
Governor Abbott said in a statement:
House Bill 1059 would mandate a series of reports that are redundant and unnecessary. Many cities and counties are already using adaptive strategies to manage stormwater runoff. Institutions of higher education, meanwhile, are providing sufficient information and support to local governments to promote even broader application of these stormwater-management tools.
The separation of UT-Brownsville and Texas Southmost College leads to hundreds of layoffs.
The bill is authored by the (2) Eddie Lucio.
Senate Bill 24 is a companion to House Bill 1000.
HB 1000 would provide for the UT System to abolish two universities: the University of Texas at Brownsville and the University of Texas-Pan Am

I'm all for the bus shelters, but sad thing about them is that they were usually occupied by the homeless as their makeshift bed and bathroom. The ones at the trail are actually used by those it was intended for and they are clean. Maybe if the seating area was designed for groups of 2 instead of the one long bench it would discourage them. That, and the graffiti and vandalism is what keeps us from having nice things. Sometimes you try to provide for those less fortunate, and they themselves don't take care or appreciate what they got.
“What can I say about the McAllen Chamber other than we are super grateful,” Rosa Maria said. “They listened to our plans and concerns and they have confidence in our products.
And here well bike trails and downtown cantinas are TOP priorities. Los pinches oficiales con el dedo metido ya sabes adonde!!!
