The 2023 Monterey County Bike Map has been completed and is now available online in 8-1/2 x 11 PDF formats. In addition, new Z-fold maps are anticipated to be available for distribution by August 2023.
The last edition was in 2016, so the new map is a cause of celebration for visitors and residents of #MontereyCounty.

The map includes the following cities and unincorporated communities of #MontereyCounty, and more, as well as the #SantaCruz County city of #Watsonville, which is just across the #PajaroRiver.

#Pajaro River #flood-control efforts slide - Los Angeles Times https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-06-30/in-the-wake-of-winter-storm-damage-pajaro-river-flood-control-efforts-slide
by #ZaydeeSanchez in #MotherJones:
"This past winter, California saw an unprecedented amount of rain, costing the state more than $30 billion in damage. In Pajaro, a small town of approximately 3,500 residents, 96 percent of whom identify as Latino, the unusual amount of rainfall during December drew concern. In January, after another storm, Monterey County issued an evacuation warning for Pajaro residents. It turned out to be a false alarm. Then, in the middle of the night on March 11, rain poured down once more: Roman and her family, along with hundreds of other residents, were awakened by city sirens and first responders banging at their doors, ordering them to evacuate. Overnight on the Pajaro River—which divides Pajaro and Watsonville in Santa Cruz County—a levee broke, causing a devastating amount of water to flood the town, displacing about 1,700 residents."

Quite a productive weekend. Spent part of Friday cleaning lomo (flood mud) from underneath a home in #Pájaro; dined at Discretion on Saturday; crossed the parking lot and bought a new mattress that will hopefully be comfortable for H.; delivered previous mattress to newly-housed person who was sleeping on the floor today; cooked nearly-#vegan lasagna; called my mom. Didn’t make any music, but still feeling grateful and fulfilled.
"Escutia, whose hometown is Pajaro and who dreams of living safely on a nearby hill, surrounded by family, fears #Pajaro has no future because of climate change and the decisions made by those in power that devalue the people living here.I think Pajaro deserves climate justice,” said Escutia. “I call this my home, but is it really my home if they don't want to help us?” https://www.kqed.org/science/1982079/this-winters-floods-may-be-only-a-taste-of-the-megafloods-to-come-climate-scientists-warn

'Earlier this month, a federal official told The Times that government engineers had known for years the levee protecting the town could fail. The official admitted an improvement project never penciled out, in part, because “it’s a low-income area. It’s largely farmworkers that live” there.'

Report from the ground in #Pajaro: residents were able to return to their homes and start cleanup and recovery today. Water service was restored but is not potable. The houses I helped at had 2” or more of mud in the yards and outbuildings. The muck is considered contaminated because the sewer line broke.

The LA Times Melissa Gomez traveled to Pajaro to report on how families were coping after being displaced by flooding on their town. I spoke to a parent who lost everything. A teen adjusting to shelter life. A teacher who cried as she thought about her kids who haven't come back.

' “Pajaro became kind of Monterey County’s Siberia,” and Watsonville’s “fief,” [said hustoruan Sandy Lydon] — a place to house farmworkers. “Let’s be candid about it. Towns that have lots of agricultural laborers don’t want them living in downtown ... Historically, the Monterey County Board of Supervisors never paid any attention to Pajaro. And that was intentional.” '
