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

https://www.kazu.org/kazu-news/2026-08-11/e-bike-popularity-pushes-officials-to-figure-out-how-to-keep-everyone-safe “There's never a traffic jam on the recreation trail,” Koesel said. !?! We appreciate his intent, and beg to differ. Our photo posted here is from 2010 — scroll to end of https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/for-serious-cyclers, and that section of trail gets far more congested now. That’s another reason we need far more such bikeways—i.e., Class 1 as well as Class 4 with a physical barrier (protection from cars).

Our sympathy to the family and friends of Linda Theresse Munoz of Salinas.
Linda suffered fatal injuries after being struck on her bicycle by a truck, and then by two additional vehicles, while biking in Salinas on March 14.
We have no details on this collision so can’t comment about the circumstances except to say: #KSBW’s report https://www.ksbw.com/article/bicyclist-struck-killed-salinas-california/70760894 mentions she was biking “in dark clothing.” High visibility apparel is not required by law, and while we do suggest it (https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/more-bicycle-safety-gear), being visible can’t protect you from drivers who are texting, speeding, under the influence, etc.—as we experienced and pointed out last week https://sfba.social/@bikemonterey/116219787478611800.
We don’t know if Linda’s bicycle had the equipment required by California law for biking in the dark (see #9 in our Calif bike law summary https://bikemonterey.org/wp-content/uploads/Bike-law-summary-2025.pdf).

#PacificGrove Council discusses regulation options for e-bikes” by Kyarra Harris, #MontereyHerald
"Currently, e-bikes are now allowed in Perkins’ Park, Lovers Point Park, Pacific Grove Golf Links, El Carmelo Cemetery, and the property ocean-side of Ocean View Boulevard to 17th Street. The exception is on the paved portion of the recreational trail.
...
“There are regulations in place like e-bikes not being allowed to go over 12mph* or for people to only travel two abreast as to not block the other side of the trail.”*Note our photo below.

“My Canada” is one of our many favorite songs written by Manitoba native Dan Frechette, performed with Laurel Thomsen. We dig the lyrics and music, and we also dig the song because our precious grandchildren are Canadian Americans, and their dear mama a native of Canada.
This is a snippet of “My Canada” from Dan and Laurel’s May 5, 2025 performance at Good Old Days in Pacific Grove, California. Hear the full song: https://danandlaurel.bandcamp.com/album/dan-and-laurel

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.

March 5 update from District 2 Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church on the Moss Landing battery fire.
“Current monitoring focuses on hydrogen fluoride and particulate matter, but traditional air quality indexes measure ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particle pollution —not heavy metals. However, when batteries burn, it is reasonable to assume that small heavy metal particles are released into the air.”

Thanks to Pam Marino @pammarino for bringing to our attention “Walk Every Street PG” https://www.montereycountynow.com/news/local_news/a-new-group-in-pacific-grove-seeks-to-walk-every-street-while-building-community/article_07c5a2d4-d919-11ef-9725-2f8835902fbe.html (January 23, 2025), and kudos to founders Ashley Edge and Amy Burkman. As Edge said, “You can drive all you want but to really know a place, you need to walk it.” (And that’s similarly true for people who bike vs drive.)
We encourage walking groups to consider including “walk audits” to identify for cities where infrastructure improvements are needed. As highlighted in the Resources / Los Recursos section on bikemonterey.org https://bikemonterey.org/resources, AARP teamed up with the League of American Bicyclists to create Bike Audit Tool Kits, in English and Spanish, and AARP has Walk Audit Tool Kits too. Print copies or downloads are available free. Anyone can do a walk or bike audit. In fact, the best are done by people with varying perspectives and mobility needs.#Bike #Walk #MontereyCounty #USA #PacificGrove #MontereyCountyNow #BikeAuditToolKit #WalkAuditToolKit #AARP #BikeLeague
