Speak up now or forever hold your peace. In the case of Santa Barbara’s next Bicycle Master Plan , now is the time to speak loudly or hold our peace for the next 15 years.
Over the past year, Santa Barbara residents, cyclists, and supporters of safer streets have rolled out in record numbers to public meetings and write letters and complete online surveys. At the October 29 Transportation and Circulation/Planning Commission (TCC/PC) joint meeting, the two city groups approved some serious improvements to the draft Bicycle Master Plan. The committees asked planning staff to:
• Add a green Micheltorena bike lane back to the bike plan and study extending it one block further to Anacapa Steet.
