A broken boat sits on the back side of one of the restaurants at Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf. I made this image in September 2008

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).

A #Bicycling #Monterey supporter wrote to us today, regarding #MontereyCounty's "#CarWeek" (Aug 11-20):
"My car week tradition for the last few years has been to commit to biking to work each day. Since moving late last year, my bike commute grew from 10 to 15 miles each way, and I'm sad to say I hadn't tried it since the move. I gave it a shot this week and am happy to report that it is still totally doable! I didn't realize how much I had missed commuting by bike!"

61023 - We went hiking at the Salinas River State Beach. It was cloudy after the early afternoon rain. By late afternoon the light was good enough to get some decent photos.

#Seaside High #Ocean Defenders club requested that #MontereyPeninsula Unified School District board ask California to phase out #oil and #gas production in California as part of the effort to combat #ClimateChange. Reps from #Chevron and from Western States #Petroleum Association came to this local school board meeting. Why?

Happy Pride Month to City of #Monterey Mayor Tyller Williamson, the first openly gay mayor of Monterey. Tyller is also a cofounder of #MontereyPeninsula #Pride.
We love it that the mayor and some Monterey City Council members regularly #bike to Council meetings.

Among those is one we are meeting with this afternoon to discuss—naturally!—bicycling-related issues. That's Gino Garcia, who is employed by #EcologyAction of #SantaCruz, a contractor for #Transportation Agency for #MontereyCounty. Among Gino's work assignments: TAMC's #SafeRoutesToSchool program.

We've asked #MontereyCounty Health Department & Transportation Agency for #Monterey County to team up on getting word out to #HealthCare providers in the county that TAMC has free bike racks, lockers & repair stations. Often we've biked to a PT appt, etc. only to find nowhere to lock our bike.
Hartnell Professional Center, Monterey (which houses #Community Hospital of the #MontereyPeninsula / #CHOMP #PhysicalTherapy & other medical offices) DOES have a bike rack. They also have picnic tables, benches, shade trees. :)
Sadly, many benches have been removed from City of Monterey public spots (e.g., USPS Post Office & Alvarado Street). We mention that—and, in contrast, City of #Seaside's revitalized West Broadway, which is loaded with benches, and bike racks—in "Rest Stops: People who bike, walk, or otherwise get about sometimes just need to 'sit a spell.'" https://bikemonterey.org/rest-stops-people-who-bike-walk-or-otherwise-get-about-sometimes-just-need-to-sit-a-spell.html

It looks like our #Seaside neighborhood is one of the few areas on the #MontereyPeninsula that still has power. NWS recorded maximum wind gusts at 53 MPH overnight.
