One reason many residents stay home during Monterey Peninsula's "Car Week" (Aug 11-20): Speeding drivers. Monterey Police Department reported people driving at speeds of 94mph and 87mph the past two days in Lighthouse Ave tunnel (where limit is 40mph, TMK https://monterey.municipal.codes/Code/20-40).

@janik_frenzel Apart from the traffic, we still love #SantaCruz. Special place. https://bikemonterey.org/santa-cruz-scene-just-love-everybody.html
It's our former home turf, and where we really fell in love with biking. https://bikemonterey.org/biking-west-cliff.html
It's also our vacay day spot. We still love biking many of our former daily Santa Cruz bike routes, and are happy to boost efforts of our #CalBike partner Bike Santa Cruz County in improving infrastructure there, e.g., https://bikemonterey.org/bike-santa-cruz-advocate-for-west-cliff-and-broadway.html

Bicycling Monterey wholeheartedly supports the position of our California Bicycle Coalition partner San Francisco Bicycle Coalition in strongly OPPOSING the California Public Utilities Commission’s Draft Resolutions TL-19144 and TL-19145 approving applications by Cruise and Waymo to provide commercial autonomous vehicle (AV) passenger service in all of San Francisco, 24/7, and with no fleet restrictions.

"I’m still a fan of my acoustic, non-electric bike, but on some days, my #reporting calendar takes me too far afield to commit to riding a #BikeToWork. On many of those days, an electric bike is perfect."—Sara Rubin, #MontereyCountyWeekly #editor, in her 9 Aug 2023 piece "What will it take to change Monterey’s Bike Lane to Nowhere into a bike lane to somewhere?" https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/opinion/mcnow_intro/what-will-it-take-to-change-monterey-s-bike-lane-to-nowhere-into-a-bike/article_30fa0e70-3707-11ee-8906-a38888232ca8.html
Sara's piece refers to #NorthFremont, #Monterey bicycle lanes within median. (Here's a partial history: https://bikemonterey.org/why-get-involved-in-infrastructure-planning-north-fremont-monterey-and-other-projects.html, https://bikemonterey.org/north-fremont-monterey-bicycle-and-pedestrian-infrastructure-improvements.html.)
Sara's piece also refers to Mark Thomas Drive, Monterey. (Partial history: https://bikemonterey.org/mark-thomas-bike-lane-conditions-as-of-8-nov-2018.html.)

@carolski A4 #BikeNite Many public parks with EXCELLENT access by biking and walking here, including along the #MontereyBay Sanctuary Scenic Trail's #MontereyCounty car-free section, e.g., Fort Ord Dunes State Park, Monterey State Beach Park, Window on the Bay Park, Monterey State Historic Park, San Carlos Beach Park, Lovers Point Park, and more. Scroll the following post for photos showing scenes along that trail: https://bikemonterey.org/intergenerational-ride-for-monterey-county-bike-month.html
Also many within very close bike/walk distance from the car-free coastal trail, e.g., for El Estero Park / Dennis the Menace Playground, only necessary to cross one street, Del Monte Ave, to get there.
For photos of Window on the Bay Park, scroll down our post about #Climate Reality Project, which features a gallery of that park: https://bikemonterey.org/act-on-climate-monterey-bay-chapter-climate-reality-project.html

Please welcome #MontereyCountyWeekly staff writer Pam Marino / @pammarino to Mastodon.
"Pam Marino joined the Monterey County Weekly in November 2016. She covers #Carmel, #PacificGrove and #Monterey. She also covers #health, #housing and #homelessness, #tourism and #HigherEducation." https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/users/profile/pam%20marino/
Monterey County Weekly is local and independent #media and is the county's "largest circulation #newspaper." More about MCW: "We were the first newspaper in the [#USA] to have 100% of our power generated from #solar energy (2007) and the first Existing Building in the [#MontereyBay] tri-county area to obtain the US #GreenBuilding Council's #LEED PLATINUM certification for Leadership in #Energy and #Environmental Design (2013)." https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/site/about_the_weekly.html.
Learning how Mastodon works (quite differently from the bird site!) takes time—at least, it sure does for us.
Perhaps consider sending Pam some of your very best tips on using this new-to-many-of-us platform. Thank you.

Another #infrastructure disappointment for North #MontereyCounty. To the best of our knowledge (and we confirmed with our most reliable source on this project), this time it's #PG&E, not #Caltrans, impacting a project that #Transportation Agency for #Monterey County has been eager to see happen—as have residents and visitors.
Here's what's up: "A major project at #Highway156 in #Castroville risks losing funding due to delays," as reported by Celia Jiménez in #MontereyCountyWeekly https://www.montereycountyweekly.com/news/local_news/a-major-project-at-highway-156-in-castroville-risks-losing-funding-due-to-delays/article_5f7727ac-0579-11ee-ad6d-e3685845e034.html The project includes three #roundabouts, #bicycle paths, and #sidewalks, among other improvements.
Curious about the California Dept of Transportation / Caltrans project we're also referring to? ICYMI, see "#MontereyBay Sanctuary Scenic #Trail: #MossLanding Segment": https://bikemonterey.org/monterey-bay-sanctuary-scenic-trail-moss-landing-segment.html

"There’s about a 90-percent less chance of fatal accidents in roundabouts as opposed to signalized intersections," per Todd Muck, ED, #Transportation Agency for #MontereyCounty, as reported by David Schmalz, #MontereyCountyWeekly. Schmalz's report also points out that this widening of Imjin Parkway project "will also add a protected, off-road bike lane."
