    Jennifer Lynn Chatman of Salinas died Nov 3, 2025 after her bicycle was struck by the trailer of a semi truck at the intersection of South Sanborn Road and Work Street, Salinas.

    As we told Sara Rubin, #MontereyCountyNow / #MontereyCountyWeekly editor, infrastructure such as protected bike lanes with a physical barrier are what’s most needed to keep people who bike safer. In general, paint on pavement provides little to no real benefit in preventing fatalities.

    Nevertheless, one “paint on pavement” practice we would like to see far more of — and which possibly could have saved Jennifer’s life — is bike boxes at intersections.

    Laura Solorio is among residents featured in #MontereyCountyWeekly July 3 cover story. "She was president of Protect Monterey County, the group that successfully got Measure Z passed in 2016. The countywide ban on fracking and the expansion of the oil and gas industry was largely unraveled in court, but she persisted…[which led to California] "AB 3233. The bill, signed into law in 2024, gives local city and county governments the ability to ban, limit or regulate oil and gas projects.”

    "The Vistra fire in Moss Landing caught everyone by surprise. What we can learn from it?” —David Schmalz, #MontereyCountyWeekly cover story

    "On Feb. 13, 2022, a similar incident occurred at Vistra’s Moss 100 facility, and this time, both #Vistra facilities were taken offline.

    "Meanwhile, PG&E’s 182.5-megawatt Elkhorn facility came online in April 2022. Unlike both Vistra facilities, the Elkhorn’s batteries were not in buildings – they were in an array of 256 Tesla Megapacks on 33 concrete slabs.

    In the early morning of Sept. 20 of that year, just over five months later, a fire broke out in one of #Tesla Megapacks at the facility, prompting the closure of Highway 1 and a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents. Though the fire only burned for six hours, the orders remained in effect until just before 7pm due to the risk of toxic smoke inhalation.”

    2/ It’s common for people to mistakenly assume e-bikes and e-motorcycles are much the same.

    We appreciate those who recognize the important distinctions between these electric vehicles. See our post above for the Monterey Police Department press release correctly identifying the vehicle involved as an e-motorcycle. (Page 3 of that press release also includes a photo of that impounded vehicle.)

    We also appreciate media professionals who are committed to accurate reporting—including that when these humans do make an error (thankfully MCN/MCW isn’t written by AI bots!), the best media pros promptly acknowledge and correct it. That’s what #MontereyCountyNow / #MontereyCountyWeekly staff writer David Schmalz did today with his Feb 14 story originally titled "Wild e-bike [sic] chase in downtown Monterey ends in major firearms arrest.” montereycountynow.com/blogs/ne

    We’ve mentioned previously the widespread confusion about e-motorcycles, which are often inaccurately marketed as e-bikes. See bikemonterey.org/california-bi

    Early this morning we published the latest issue of Bike Buzz, which mentions that and more about bikes at unsafe speeds. (See "On a multiuse trail, anytime we’re near pedestrians and others” in red box at bikemonterey.org/bike-buzz-win.)

    Coincidentally, a Feb 14 afternoon story from #MontereyCountyNow / #MontereyCountyWeekly staff writer David Schmalz includes a speeding e-motorcycle rider: "Wild e-bike [sic] chase in downtown Monterey ends in major firearms arrest.”montereycountynow.com/blogs/ne

    Although David’s story refers to that vehicle as an “e-bike,” the Monterey Police Dept press release identified it as an e-motorcycle. files.monterey.gov/News-Releas

    This is another example of why we and many other #CalBike partners issued this stmt: bikemonterey.org/california-bi

    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. bikemonterey.org/bike-valet-at

    We also appreciate Cali Roots other sustainability efforts—and #MontereyCountyNow (formerly #MontereyCountyWeekly ) providing an update on those efforts. montereycountynow.com/news/cov 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.)
