#montereycountynow — Public Fediverse posts

Thurs, May 8 at 6 pm in the Gawain Family Outdoor Theater at York School: Ben Jealous, Monterey County native and currently executive director of Sierra Club. Event is free and open to the public. - Report by Agata Popęda, #MontereyCountyNow https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/opinion_blog/prominent-civil-rights-activist-ben-jealous-returns-to-his-alma-mater-for-a-discussion-on/article_3a3800e0-84d8-4bd9-b07d-f5202f41c79e.html

Our #transportation advisory: York School is off Highway 68, which we personally bike on frequently but as brief a distance as possible (high-speed traffic, no bike lane). Carpooling encouraged. (TMK, and it’s a Catch 22: Due to heavy traffic on CA SR 68, making it nearly impossible to keep to a schedule, it’s just not feasible for Monterey Salinas Transit to provide bus service.)

Speaking of Hwy 68: We’re about to make yet another report to #Caltrans about more broken car parts not cleared from the shoulder. (Sigh. Not unusual, e.g., https://sfba.social/@bikemonterey/113709985426108972.) Where to report: https://csr.dot.ca.gov/

Not seeing any activity on Mastodon (this instance anyway) about #CaliRoots #CaliforniaRootsFestival happening May 24-26 in #Monterey. But we’re here to encourage Cali Roots goers to bike, skate, scoot, or walk there. Free bike/skate valet service (aka #ActiveTransport valet service) is again available. https://bikemonterey.org/bike-valet-at-california-roots-festival.html

We also appreciate Cali Roots other sustainability efforts—and #MontereyCountyNow (formerly #MontereyCountyWeekly ) providing an update on those efforts. https://www.montereycountynow.com/news/cover_collections/cali-roots-went-green-more-than-a-decade-ago-and-the-results-speak-for-themselves/article_e61e5b2a-1885-11ef-aa3f-43780a9f452b.html We especially appreciate that as we recall the plastic and other trash that littered the grounds when we last attended, in 2012. (Hiss boo to folks who don’t pack it out—or at least take it to an on-site bin.)

Just a tiny sample of 2024 performers: #ZiggyMarley #Elovaters #JBoog #IceCube #SoulsOfMischief #E40 #XavierRudd - https://www.californiarootsfestival.com/
