Bicycle Advocates to Hear New City Safety Initiatives Today

From PasadenaNow.com

BY RACHEL YOUNG

After months of waiting, bicyclists this afternoon will hear newly revised city plans to make bike riding in Pasadena safer after the original proposal was rejected by a City Council committee.

The updated City Bicycle Plan will be delivered publicly during the Municipal Services Committee meeting at 4:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Pasadena City Hall, 100 North Garfield Avenue, Room S249.

During its July 9 meeting the Municipal Services Committee declined to accept the city staff’s plans and directed development of a more ambitious Bicycle Transportation Plan.

It started as a joke, but quickly turned into an important source of funding, as people like you surprised me by opening their hearts and wallets to us.

And by us, I mean me and my four-legged assistant down there at the bottom.

It’s been ten years of good news and bad, happy and, yes, sad. Because I always try tell you the truth about what’s happening on our streets, to the best of my ability, so you know what’s going on out there.

San Fernando’s Pacoima Wash walk/bike path is open – and the city installed more modular curb-protection along downtown L.A.’s Main Street parking-protected bike lanes.

San Fernando’s Pacoima Wash Path Is Open

In June, Streetsblog shared pictures of the city of San Fernando’s then nearly completed bike/walk path along the Pacoima Wash. The city officially opened the new path in late October. The facility extends 1.4 mile from Fourth Street/Bradley Avenue to Cindy Montañez Natural Park at 8th Street.
