#ClimateDiary very good and illuminating meeting with the #SantaCruz Sustainability and Climate Change Officer, learning about the challenges of #CoastalErosion and #SeaLevelRise at #WestCliffDrive - the #Infrastructure costs, the uncertainties, the different interest groups affected and involved - so much to balance here and for #LocalGovernments everywhere 1/2

4th of July morning. Video of Its beach from #WestCliffDrive in #SantaCruz. Dog heaven today.
Yesterday, we used the newly improved walk+bike-friendly #WestCliffDrive in #SantaCruz to bike to the park for our daughter's 1st birthday party.
It was great!
Thanks to the new human-friendly street design, we saw a toddler learning how to use a push-bike, a new father walking with his newborn baby, a person in a wheelchair, an elderly person with a cane.
Our 5-mile round trip was relatively car-light, thanks to this & other bike-friendly paths.
I hope the #CityOfSantaCruz keeps this up.
