13 bikeways most effectively with those of the State and local
14 governments as they affect roads, streets, schools, parks, and
15 other publicly owned lands, lands not owned by a municipality,
16 local unit of government, county, or the State of Illinois or
17 one of its agencies or authorities by agreement, abandoned
18 roadbeds and conservation areas, while maximizing the benefits
19 from the use of tax dollars, a single State agency, eligible to
20 receive federal matching funds, should be designated to
21 establish and maintain a State-wide bikeways program.
