Zac2018-11-06 12:51:392018-11-17 12:59:46Prop 6 Doesn’t Just Undermine Our Infrastructure
Projects on Local Roads May Face One Less Delay With Senate Bill 760
/by ZacIn September of 2015, the City of Oakland installed bike lanes on Chetwood Street, a local road that includes an overpass over a Caltrans highway. Oakland’s project design included six-foot wide bike lanes and 10-foot mixed traffic lanes, meeting local standards for bike safety and comfort. When they applied for the encroachment permit for the […]
Galvanizing News: Air Resources Board Could Include E-Bike Share
/by ZacE-bikes remove barriers that prevent most people from riding bikes. Bike share systems provide easy access to bikes for the quick short trip or transit connection that would otherwise require a car. Put the two together, and you have the potential to expose millions of Californians to the amazing potential of bicycles. CalBike is working […]
CalBike Recommendations Roll to Victory in Ballot Propositions, Three out of Four Races on Primary Day
/by ZacFor the most part, California voters did indeed #BikeTheVote on Tuesday. Voters approved CalBike positions on every ballot measure we endorsed, and bike-friendly candidates won the right to compete in November in each of the three races we endorsed. With voter approval of Prop 68, the infrastructure bond for parks and trails, and in the Bay […]
CalBike Opposes the Josh Newman Recall
/by ZacLast year, Josh Newman cast an essential vote in support of SB 1—a critically important package of taxes and fees to maintain our transportation systems. SB 1 is already generating billions of dollars putting Californians to work repaving and rebuilding critical infrastructure. It’s making our communities safer by eliminating dangerous potholes and upgrading biking and […]
Carfree Trail Through Redwood Country Closer to Reality
/by ZacRiding from San Francisco to Humboldt on mostly carfree trails will be a gorgeous possibility if the Great Redwood Trail is built as envisioned by Senate Bill 1029, introduced by Senator Mike McGuire. CalBike strongly supports SB 1029. The trail would use the unused right-of-way of the North Coast Railroad under the direction of the Great Redwood Trail Agency […]
Vote Yes on Prop 69
/by ZacYes on Prop 69. We took some time to decide that we’d be joining the coalition asking California voters to vote yes on Prop 69 on June 5th—because we did our research. Prop 69 will ensure that SB 1 funds go to transportation projects like the biking, walking, and public transit improvements our communities so […]
The Call For Projects Is Finally Here. Is Your Active Transportation Program Cycle 4 Application Ready?
/by ZacOn May 16th at the May California Transportation Commission meeting, the commissioner’s adopted the updated Active Transportation Program Guidelines and simultaneously launched the Call for Projects for Cycle 4 of the program. The ATP is the state’s premiere source of funding for biking and walking infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects grant program, and CalBike and our partners want to support […]
CalBike Endorses Tasha Boerner Horvath
/by ZacVote for Tasha Boerner Horvath for Assembly Comprised of cities that have recently become bike-friendly leaders in San Diego County deserves to be represented by a legislator who supports bikes. That representative is Tasha Boerner Horvath, the only candidate who attended a recent public forum on bicycling and who also scored an impressive ‘A’ on […]
CalBike Endorses Christy Smith for AD 38
/by ZacVote for Christy Smith for Assembly The incumbent was no friend to bicycling as Mayor Pro Tem of Santa Clarita and in the Assembly reliably voted against our bills to improve bike safety. He wants to use gas tax money to widen roads instead of maintaining them. He deserves to be defeated by Christy Smith […]
Vote Yes on Prop 68
/by ZacAlthough it’s not obvious from its title, the Parks, Environment and Water Bond includes major funding opportunities for trails, walking and biking. Many millions of dollars will be available for trails not just in remote parks but connecting the destinations we try to reach every day. Proposition 68 responds to the fact that many Californians across […]
Vote No on Prop 70
/by ZacProposition 70 was put on the ballot to appease climate change deniers and oil and car interests to make it harder to sustain California’s landmark Cap-and-Trade greenhouse gas emission reduction plan that is critical to billions of dollars in funding of our state’s efforts to stop global warming, including substantial funds for bicycling. California’s climate […]
CalBike Endorses Gayle McLaughlin for Lt. Governor
/by ZacVote for Gayle McLaughlin for Lieutenant Governor McLaughlin’s platform reads like a bicycle advocates’ dream. She gets the importance of bicycling as a component of sustainable transportation and a more socially just society, and has a track record as the Mayor of Richmond to back up her claims. With McLaughlin as Lieutenant Governor, we’ll have […]
