This was just the beginning!!
Join us and help keep the momentum going – creating a Safer Santa Monica for Walking, Biking
and Everyone!

Circa November 11, 2011
Santa Monica has a new Bike Action Plan!

An enthusiastic mayor, council and City staff were all pleased when last night council voted unanimously to approve the Bike Action Plan with all the amendments recommended by the planning commission and supported by the bike community.

Amendments suggested by Planning Commission, supported by Spoke and adopted by council:

• Add to the 20 year vision the opportunity for a recreational cycle track at Santa Monica Airport – with connections to the remaining and proposed bike networks.
• Pursue implementation of Bike Share prior to the Metro-funded project in 2016
• Establish criteria to measure bicycle mode share to inform on-going investments and activities
• Include at least one “central” east-west and north-south separated bike facility in the 5-year instead of the 20-year vision.
• Establish a much greater priority for working with schools and Safe Routes to Schools programs
• Provide annual reporting on the plan implementation
• Highlight language about the potential for “open” street events like CicLAvia

Caltrans is proposing a project to rehabilitate distressed pavement, improve ride quality, upgrade existing safety features, upgrade existing nonstandard curb ramps to comply with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, and construct Class II bike lanes on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) State Route 1 (SR-1) from Serra Road near Malibu Lagoon State Beach to the Ventura County Line near Leo Carrillo State Beach.  The current design proposes bike lanes that may eliminate parking in some areas on PCH.  Caltrans is holding this virtual meeting to receive input from the community on this proposed project.  Community participation is greatly appreciated as we will be collecting feedback.

One of our questions: Is a Class II bike lane sufficient where vehicles travel in excess of 50mph or is protected infrastructure what we need / want?  

For any questions regarding this meeting, or if you would like to receive an email with the meeting link, please contact Caltrans Public Information Officer, Alisa Almanzan or Caltrans Project Manager, Jane Yu.

With a heavy heart, in deference and solidarity with the peaceful protestors responding to recent national events that weigh heavy on us all we will postpone this evenings live panel.
