"California Department of Transportation, known as #Caltrans, said that the state had spent more than $370 million on fixing the #highway after #ExtremeWeather events in the past seven years….Building the road on unstable terrain took ingenuity. Fixing it in a world being rocked by #ClimateChange may take even more….There are more than 1,500 active slide areas in Big Sur.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/us/pacific-coast-highway-closed-climate-change.html

Caltrans Announces Urgent Lane Closure of Northbound Vincent Thomas Bridge for Roadway Repair 2025-05-16T15:52:15 #caltrans #caltransdist7 #caltransd7 https://dot.ca.gov/caltrans-near-me/district-7/district-7-news/d7-caltrans-announces-urgent-lane-closure-of-northbound-vincent-thomas-bridge-for-roadway-repair

This is remarkable and well done. I guess it's because it was installed/approved by CALTRANS. Buffered bike lane and corner barriers (so drivers don't cut over and run over bicyclists going onto the freeway). Separate crossing for pedestrians. Bike lane marked across freeway entrance/exit. This is really amazing, compared to the rest of our area. #biketooter #cycling #infrastructure #caltrans

There's an oddly progressive stretch of bicycle lane here in our town under the 101 freeway. It appears this is because it is owned and constructed by the State of California (CALTRANS), which appears to have *better* minimum requirements for bicycle lanes and pedestrian infrastructure than our town. YAY CALTRANS! #caltrans

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/
