  6. "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.

    #Pajaro #River, which drains a watershed that extends across parts of #SantaClara, #Monterey, #SanBenito & #SantaCruz counties, meanders through strawberry and other farm fields before emptying into #MontereyBay.”

  11. Monterey Regional KMRY → San Francisco International KSFO

    Because it was so much fun the day before, this time I went again with the Pilatus PC-12. From the Pacific coast, I headed inland, flying along the western edge of the Central Valley. On the way to San Francisco, I passed over the Bay and the Salt Ponds, which still shimmer in stunning colors.

  12. Vandenberg Space Force Base KVBG → Monterey Regional KMRY

    Once again with an aircraft I haven’t flown before. With its 1,200 HP, the Pilatus PC-12NGX is definitively a class of its own. An exciting aircraft.

  13. #SafeRoutesToSchool, #MontereyCounty

    Temporary Traffic Calming Project in Castroville — Geil & Seymour Streets
    Per District 2 County Supervisor Glenn Church’s newsletter today, installation will occur September 3-9, and the project will be in place through October 8, 2025.

    saferoutesmonterey.org/northmo
    The temporary measures will include crosswalks, curb extensions, and traffic circles to slow down traffic, which improves safety for people walking and biking and students traveling to school.

    Take a survey, and learn more, including about SRTS measures affecting the following schools:

    #Castroville Elementary
    Echo Valley Elementary
    #Elkhorn Elementary
    Hall District Elementary
    #Ohlone Elementary
    #Prunedale Elementary
    North Monterey County Middle
    #Pajaro Middle
    North #Monterey County High
    Central Bay High and #HomeSchool

  14. "One of those major safety issues includes a light that will be removed. A #roundabout will be in its place. They're also improving the connection between the #bike and #pedestrian #bridge and the path to North #MontereyCounty High School.” ksbw.com/article/castroville-b

    Speaking of North County bike and pedestrian bridges, ICYMI, here’s a favorite that also serves North #Monterey County High School students, and others. bikemonterey.org/completion-ca

  15. First Night Monterey "does not provide valet parking. The FNM footprint is closed to all vehicular traffic, including bicycles (except when walked) and dogs. If you choose to ride your bicycle, there is bicycle parking near the shuttle bus stop at Del Monte Center. There are also bicycle racks located throughout downtown Monterey along Alvarado Street - and including larger racks at the Sports Center…” [remainder of FNM web page info about bike parking isn’t entirely accurate].

    "Please be courteous and walk your bike within the FNM footprint. Bicycles are not permitted inside any venue.”

  16. We biked to #Seaside last eve, passing through North Monterey. En route, we used alternate route (not Monterey’s North Fremont Street center bike lanes). On return trip, we used that center bikeway, to see if the most recent collision’s debris, which we reported 9/9 and again 9/19, had been cleaned up yet. Verdict: mostly (use caution to avoid tire puncture).

    We salute the work of @LukeBornheimer and others for Better Valencia, #SanFrancisco
    ICYMI, #Monterey’s center bike lane was first such design in California. SF followed suit—and regretted it. “SFMTA is planning to replace the Valencia Street center bikeway with curbside bike lanes as soon as January.” sfba.social/@LukeBornheimer/11 Follow Luke for details and more sustainable transportation efforts.

  17. Friday is farmers market day at Del Monte Center, Monterey. Don’t know who rode this bike to DMC today, just appreciate that they did. Related tips in “Bike to Farmers Markets” bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour and in “Shopping by Bike”: bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour

    DMC is in city of Monterey. The city’s bike-aware leaders, e.g., Mayor Tyller Williamson and Council Member Gino Garcia (whose day job is working for Ecology Action of Santa Cruz / Lets Modo) may be unaware that we formerly had in that Shopping section of the Tips guide a detailed map listing all Del Monte Center bike rack locations. Their ED at that time himself biked to work! Why is that detailed map no longer in our guide? Because DMC 🔥REMOVED those bike racks! 😭#NotProgress #GoingBackward #CarbonEmissions #TrafficCongestion #Monterey #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #transportation

  18. Our favorite sort of visitors are people who (if able) bike, walk, skate, scoot, or use public transportation. We met two such #Monterey County visitors on 10 Feb 2024: this couple from #Fresno who'd rented #bicycles to enjoy #cycling along the #PacificGrove shoreline and elsewhere. They were grooving on the sunshine after all the recent rains!

  19. MODERATE RAINFALL WILL LEAD TO MODERATE & POTENTIALLY RAPID
    RISES ALONG AREA STREAMS & CREEKS

    This could result in nuisance & minor flooding. Although most sites are forecast to remain below flood stage, some locations may reach monitor stage, especially in Sonoma County.

    WHERE: Entire forecast area from #Napa & #Sonoma Counties & south through #Monterey & #SanBenito Counties. Although current forecast shows creeks & rivers remaining below flood stage, some locations may reach monitor stage. Creeks that are most likely to see rapid rises are located within Sonoma County such as #MarkWest, #GreenValley & Laguna De Santa Rosa. However, rapid rises could also occur along the San Francisquito Creek & San Lorenzo River.

    WHEN: Friday (12/29) afternoon thru Saturday afternoon.

    ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Details will likely change as the system nears. stay tuned to the latest forecast for the most up to date weather information.

  20. We encourage people to use the free AARP Bike Audit Tool Kit created by #AARP and #BikeLeague, whether in #Monterey County or anywhere. ICYMI, e.g., in #CalBike e-blast, Bicycling Monterey's Autumn Bike Buzz, or elsewhere, here are some details—including updates today (post-webinar) on how much time it takes to do a bike audit. bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-aut. The Tool Kit is available from AARP as a free download or free print edition. Spanish version expected Jan 2024.
