From report by Sara Rubin, #MontereyCountyNow:

“The project is closing the gap in an 18-mile, Class-1 bike trail that runs from Castroville to Pacific Grove,” City Manager Vibeke Norgaard told the TAMC board on Aug. 31.

It was the first public presentation on a project that has been contemplated since 1982, and now has public grant funds in the pipeline to build the $12 million project.

Eight new #gas and #OilWells have been approved for San Ardo.

“These enhanced# oil recovery methods come with all the risks of traditional production,” says Cooper Kass, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, a watchdog organization which has filed multiple lawsuits regarding California’s oil and gas industry. “They also bring a number of additional risks, including the potential for the high-pressure injection to damage the wellbore and/or crack the surrounding rock, which could lead to migration and #groundwater contamination.”—Report by Katie Rodriguez, #MontereyCountyNow

"Muck says the land where the actual bike trail would go would indeed be rent-free, but proposed parking would be subject to fair market rent. Sand City’s proposal calls for five lots, totaling 110 parking spaces, along the trail. 'We don’t normally put parking in with bicycle facilities,' Muck says. (TAMC’s latest markup of the draft agreement shows a strikethrough name change for the Multi-Use Trail and Parking Project.)”—Sara Rubin, "Sand City’s dream of a bike path hits problems with parking and pricing,” #MontereyCountyNow

"During a campaign to improve the trail 20-some years ago, the Don Chapin Company donated gates and a portable toilet on the San Benito County side—which they continue to service, gratis, decades later. Chapin is hopeful about a current push by leaders at the California Welcome Center in Salinas to revive the trail and make it into more of an attraction.

"About 12 percent of Monterey County’s oil and gas wells are located within 200 feet of a river or creek. This includes the Salinas River, which runs through the San Ardo oil field, and is a critical source of the county’s groundwater.

"In December 2025, over 4,000 gallons of oil and toxic wastewater spilled in the San Ardo oil field, just over a mile from where the Sargent Creek feeds the Salinas River. It is unconfirmed whether that spill was connected to an active or idle well.”
