"'In an ideal world, we would have bike lanes with a physical barrier everywhere. That’s what’s needed. The reason more people don’t bike is primarily the fear of cars, and you can’t blame them.'”
—Bicycling Monterey’s founder, in cover story, "Can advocates make local streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers?"

Nice road bike ride and farm stand visit yesterday.
We did a nice 36 mile road bike ride on the Monterey Recreation trail yesterday morning from the Monterey Wharf, south to the Pacific Grove Lighthouse then back through Monterey and north to Castroville turning around at the Pezzini Farm stand.
The photo is from the Pezzini Farm stand yesterday near Castroville CA, the so called “Artichoke Capital of the World". The Pezzini family farm is well known for their Heirloom Green Globe artichokes.
There are several farm stands between Moss Landing and Marina on highway 1. Pezzini is the biggest and nicest, in my opinion, with lots of fresh vegetables and fruit with a few other items. It's well worth a stop. It’s also has easy access with highway 1 off and on ramps. I have no relation to them BTW, other than being a customer for many years on our way back from Monterey.

"Bay Area construction company illegally polluted river, lawsuit alleges.” Rpt by Paul Rogers, #MontereyHerald.
Graniterock, "based in Watsonville, has more than 20 offices and locations, incl in San Jose, Concord, Redwood City, South San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Salinas….Lawsuit...stated that the company has been fined four times since 2018 by state #WaterPollution regulators at #CentralCoast Regional Water Quality Control Board. In those cases, settlements required #Graniterock to pay a total of $138K in penalties for water quality violations at the quarry.
"For each of the 46 incidents involved, the board imposed the minimum penalty of $3K, the lawsuit noted, calling it 'tantamount to a #PayToPollute system' for a company with millions of $ in annual revenue.

Sept 28-Oct 1 is California Chapter of American Planning Association conference, in Monterey County. https://www.apacalifornia.org/ Conference theme is "WAVES OF CHANGE: Reconnecting #Communities.” Two of 13 mobile workshops are promoted as being via bicycle, and there's a bike in conference banner, and @ 1:00 in “APA California 2025 Conference Hype Video.” In Feb we were invited by a Santa Cruz County based planner to serve on a proposed bike-related panel at the conference; we urged him to instead invite #CalBike’s executive director or policy director (and he did). He later reported that his panel submission was rejected by conference organizers. :(

At yesterday’s Vision Zero meeting for Monterey County, the challenges of Salinas Road were among topics discussed. In fact, on Wednesday, a Watsonville resident traveling by bike was going north on the shoulder of Salinas Road when he attempted to make a left turn and was hit by a GMC Yukon. The Yukon’s driver fled the scene. Good Samaritans assisted the injured bike commuter. Thank you to law enforcement; the driver has been arrested and faces felony #HitAndRun charges.

While biking on Pearl Street tonight, we noticed another active transportation user—this skateboarder, who we could very easily spot for blocks ahead of us. We eventually caught up with him and enjoyed chatting. He said his boss in Reno had gifted him that high-visibility jacket.
