Measure D renewal—why vote for it?The current Measure D is a 20-year transporta-tion tax measure passed by Santa BarbaraCounty voters in 1989. A proposed reauthoriza-tion of Measure D, if we pass it this November,will increase our local sales tax by a quarter of apenny, but it will offer an updated measure to ad-dress traffic congestion—one that explicitly setsaside funding for projects that benefit bicyclists.

Included in the proposed Measure D are threeprograms and one condition are of special inter-est to people who bicycle:Safe Routes to School Program. This will befunded with $44 million over the 30-year life ofMeasure D. Safe Routes funding can be used for:• Traffic calming near schools• Wider road shoulders and sidewalks near schools• Crosswalk signals and school zone signage• Pedestrian and bicycle safety education programs.

Regional Bicycling Program. With $42.5 millionavailable over the life of Measure D, this programwill fund projects through a competitive grantprocess that will expand and improve our re-gional bicycle network. Cities and the County,Caltrans, transit districts and the commuter railoperator will be eligible to compete for funding.Schools districts, universities and colleges cancompete for funding with a city or county co-sponsor. Eligible projects include:• Bike path lighting• New bike routes that eliminate missing links in

the regional network• Bicycle route plans and maps• Educational programs that promote bike safety.

Traffic Solutions. This program is part of SBCounty Association of Governments. They pro-mote trips by foot, bicycle, bus, carpool,

vanpool—anything but the single-occupant ve-hicle. We might coordinate bicyclist educationalprograms with them if Measure D passes.Complete Streets Clause. This is one of severalguiding elements in the Statement of Principles. Itsays “Streets should be designed and operated toenable safe access for all users. Pedestrians, bicy-clists, motorists and transit riders of all ages andabilities must be able to safely move along andacross a complete street.”

In addition, 50% of Measure D will be distrib-uted directly to local Santa Barbara jurisdictionsto ensure local streets will be maintained. Someof that will also go to alternatives like bicyclingfacilities, and some rural roads will receive safetyimprovements including new shoulders.

Finally, if Measure D fails, we will lose notonly $500 million in state and federal funding thatwill go elsewhere, but also nearly all road mainte-nance funding throughout Santa Barbara county.

You can read a summary or the whole MeasureD proposal at SBCAG’s site: www.sbcag.org.

Bicycling in the Sierrasby Ralph Fertig

I spent the second week of August visitinga splendid section of the Sierra Nevada be-tween Mammoth Lakes on the south andMeadow Valley 200 miles to the north. Inbetween visiting relatives and friends, Imanaged to bike around, chat with bicy-clists and advocates, and see what othershave done for transportation and recre-ation. Here is what I found:

Mammoth Lakes. People on bikes are ev-erywhere, but most are taking the ski liftup Mammoth Mountain and riding down.There’s a bus that pulls a bike rack carry-ing 30 bikes to the lift. Main streets intown have bikelanes, but the best feature ismiles of paved trails. The trails loop throughtown, passing schools, venturing into sur-rounding hills, and tunneling under roads.In winter they serve cross-country skiers,but I saw bikers, joggers and walkers.

Lake Tahoe. This was more of a familydestination than Mammoth. Again, miles ofbikepaths were attracting hundreds ofpeople on bicyclists, most on rented bikes.It is another fitness-oriented destination,with extensive campgrounds, cottages andvintage motels dating back a century.Bicycle Coalition. I attended a monthlymeeting of the year-old Lake Tahoe Bicycle

A bike trail along the south shore of Lake Tahoewas teaming with bicycling families.

Coalition. They have a handful of resource-ful leaders who have obtained tens of thou-sands of dollars to print glossy flyers and abike map. Their web site www.tahoebike.org isstill basic, but among other additions, theyplan to include videos of local bike routes.They are applying for a “Bicycle-FriendlyCommunity” designation from the League ofAmerican Bicyclists, the same recognitionthat the City of Santa Barbara has. Theyhave ambition and capability, but with apopulation a fraction of ours, it remains tobe seen if they can attract members.Truckee. I had thought of Truckee as agasoline stop on Interstate 80, but it’s anhistoric town with miles of bikepaths, an ac-tive bike advocacy group called “TruckeeTrails” (www.truckeetrails.org), and three trafficroundabouts. Their group is coordinatingwith the new Lake Tahoe Bicycle Coalition.

Benjamin and Susanne. For several yearsin the 1990s, Benjamin Sawyer andSusanne Hammel contributed to our BicycleCoalition, helping substantially with the ProBike/Pro Walk 1998 conference that wehosted here. Now they live in rural MeadowValley, near Quincy in Plumas County. Theyare living lightly on their acre of land, bik-ing when possible, raising chickens for eggsand organic produce for sale. We spent sev-eral hours catching up, I believe impressingthem with all our progress since they movedfrom our community.Summary. Overall, Mammoth and LakeTahoe are tourist destinations like most ofour county. However, they booth have moreextensive bike trails and ambitious plans toadd more and increase promotion of them.Tahoe bicycle advocates are actively endors-ing safe routes to school, bike facilities forvisitors and residents alike, plus high-pro-file events like races, rides, movies, and abike symposium this fall. It is exciting to seeothers facing the same challenges and pur-suing the same goals that we are.

CBC opposestransportation bond

In addition to Santa Barbara County’sMeasure D on the November ballot, we willbe confronted with at least 13 state mea-sures. The California Bicycle Coalition(CBC) board of directors recently voted tooppose one of them, Proposition 1B—the“Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, AirQuality, Port Security Bond Act.” This $20billion bond will borrow money to repairand expand roads, repair bridges, expandpublic transportation, and improve port se-curity.

However, according to a CBC newsletter,it “will do little to make California a betterplace to ride a bicycle.” They add, “Despitepressure from CBC and over fifty environ-mental, planning and social justice organi-zations throughout the state, the bondmeasure hammered out by the state legis-lature and the governor contains little forpedestrians and bicyclists.”

Sacramento columnist Dan Walters re-ported on July 28th that a Field Pollshowed 54% of California voters currentlyapprove the bond measure.

Read it carefully before you vote.

Trailhead break-insBeware that car break-ins are an ongoingdanger at South Coast trailheads. In midJuly, six vehicles were hit at RattlesnakeTrail. Typically, windows were brokenwith rocks, and contents grabbed. Earlier,others occurred at Tunnel Trail.

There are two ways to avoid it, one is tobike to the trail, the other is to have noth-ing of value in view from the outside.Watch and report any suspicious activity.

Kendra PayneOn June 29th, the case of Marcos AngelAlmaguer vs. the County was continueduntil August 10th, at which time it wascontinued to September 14th. Almaguerwas the driver of the asphalt truck that ranover and killed UCSB triathlete KendraPayne last January 11th while she was ona training ride on Gibraltar Road.

Assistant District Attorney PatrickMcKinley said that the accident report wasstill not completed, so he asked for the de-lays, which were granted. So it is nowscheduled for 8:30 AM on September 14,118 East Figueroa Street, Room 10, SantaBarbara.

by Don LubachQ: What was your firstbicycle memory?Dave Bourgeois: I grewup in New Orleans. Notcounting tricycles andtraining wheels, my firstbicycling memory isfrom a grassy field atCity Park. I told myMom not to let go, butshe already had. Fearmixed with excitementas I kept the bike up-right and moving. I washooked.

Q: As an adult, whatare some of your favor-ite places to ride both intown and around the globe?DB: My staple ride cruises from the Mesadown the beach, climbs San Ysidro, rollsalong Mountain Drive, then descends homethrough town. The Santa Ynez Valley hassome of the best road riding anywhere—my favorite is a 45-mile loop through LosOlivos, Los Alamos, Buellton, and Solvang.Santa Cruz has great rides in the red-woods. I’ve toured in France, the CanadianRockies, and along the Atlantic and Pacificcoasts of the US, and all are wonderful indifferent ways.

Q: What are some of the projects you hopeto be involved with during your time onthe board?DB: I’d like to help support cycling eventsin Santa Barbara. They are inspirationaland raise awareness of cycling. Speaking

Meet new Board member Dave Bourgeois

of which, I hope to see more people cyclingand more cyclists joining the Coalition.

Q: If a genie emerged from your bike’s wa-ter bottle and offered to grant you three,transportation-in-SB County wishes, whatare some of the requests you’d make?DB: Can I have reliable frequent multi-modal mass transit? How’s about a Class Ibike route for the Gaviota coast? Same forthe Rincon coast?

Don Lubach: I think this mythic, bikebottle genie has granted Santa Barbara awish by bringing Dave Bourgeois to ourBoard. Dave is married to Christine and,together, they ride all around Santa Bar-bara and all around the world. Dave willmake a great addition to the Board and tobicycling in the County of Santa Barbara.

Couples bike courseset for September

Our Bicycle Coalition’s CycleSmart programis offering a ten-hour bicycling skills coursedesigned for couples. The idea came fromthe City of Santa Barbara’s Mobility Coordi-nator Dru van Hengel who will be teachingit with her husband Joshua Patlak.

The course will take place on Thursday andSaturday, September 28th and 30th. You’lllearn the basics of riding your bicycle confi-dently in a supportive and fun environment.

The first part is indoor biking instruc-tion; the second part is basic repairs, safetyskills, and on-road experience. Get updatedinformation about course cost and locationfrom van Hengel at CycleSmart@sbbike.org, orat 564-5544.

Congratulations to Jose Gonzalez and hisSanta Barbara Action Pro group for puttingon a bigger Santa Barbara Kids Triathlonon July 29th. Gonzalez reports that over 90young people, aged 7-15, competed in theswim-bike-run event at and around LosBaños del Mar Pool in Santa Barbara.

The bicycle legs were either 5 or 10 kilo-meters, depending on age group. Competi-tion increased this year because of hissummer triathlon camps in Santa Barbara,and a similar one in Ventura. For 2007,participation will be limited to 100 youngpeople. Perhaps Bicycle Coalition memberscan help put on this important event. Intimes of increasing childhood indolenceand obesity, activities like this are a perfectantidote. Learn more at www.sbactionpro.com.

Young triathletes return from the cycling leg ofthe Kids Triathlon, and prepare for their run.

Back to school withbike and helmet

Schools are opening and it’s time to thinkof safe bike routes to school. And of thesensibility and legality of wearing a helmet.Young people in California under the age of18 are required to wear a helmet to reducethe risk of a head injury by up to 85 percent.

It’s important to wear the appropriatehelmet for your activity. For bicycling, lookfor a label inside the bicycle helmet indicat-ing it meets the CPSC standard. (For olderhelmets, look for an ASTM or Snell label.) Ifyou want to learn more, the ConsumerProduct Safety Commission (CPSC) has apublication entitled Which Helmet forWhich Activity. It’s a useful guide that in-cludes helmet information on sports kidsplay at every age level. Find it on their sitewww.cpsc.gov.

Today’s bicycle helmets are designed toprotect against a single severe impact, suchas a bicyclist’s fall onto the pavement. Thefoam material in the helmet will crush toabsorb the impact energy during a fall orcollision and can’t protect you again froman additional impact. Even if there are novisible signs of damage to the helmet, youshould replace it.

Local committeeswork on Tour logisticsWith two stages of the 2007 Amgen Tourof California taking place within ourcounty, in Solvang and Santa Barbara onFebruary 23 and 24, we have two LocalArea Committees (LOCs) working on logis-tics and funding.

Our Bicycle Coalition is working closelywith the City of Santa Barbara and theSanta Barbara Conference and Visitors Bu-reau to coordinate efforts for the Stage 6start on Saturday, February 24th.

Bicycle Coalition member BarneyBerglund is heading the Santa BarbaraLOC, and Board member Drew Hunter isour liaison. At the August 16 LOC meeting,local pre-stage events like a kids’ race orsafety rodeo on closed-off Cabrillo Boule-vard were discussed. We are seeking waysto attract additional people to the eventarea, and hopefully entice the out-of-townvisitors to stay for the whole weekend—and bike around our beautiful community.

Jesusita Trail workershonored

Four South Coast individuals were givencertificates of special public recognition fortheir dedication to public trails. Chris Orr,Kelly Kellogg, Paul Herning, and RayFord were honored on July 26th by theCity of Santa Barbara’s Parks and Recre-ation Commission for their extensive workon Jesusita Trail. Thanks to all four foryour volunteer work.

Landscape architect OwenDell and other membersof the Fossil-Free Land-scaping Group are envi-sioning a demonstrationenvironmental garden inDowntown Santa Bar-bara. The vacant lot theyare considering is at 125State Street, next to theUP railroad tracks.

Dell sees the propertyas hub of a multi-modal transportation net-work, and a nexus of bicycle activism, aswell as a garden, community gatheringplace, and educational center. With “peakoil” upon us, they hope to craft a fossil-fuel-free area as a model for a sustainable future.

Last April, they held a design charettefor the property that is currently supposedto serve as a parking lot for the nearbyLevy timeshares. On July 6th, they metwith Mayor Marty Blum and council-members Grant House and Roger Horton,all of whom were supportive of the concept.Both the timeshares and the property des-ignation as car parking are questionable at

this time.Being adjacent to the Amtrak depot, the

location could serve as a secure overnightbike parking hub for incoming rail com-muters, as well as a place to store bikes forthose leaving town by train, or simplytending the garden.

Dell comments, “I have long consideredthe Bicycle Coalition to be essential to thesuccess of this venture. We are facing anuphill battle, and we really need your helpbecause the bicycle element is so crucial toour success.”

To learn more, phone Owen Dell at 962-3253, or email him odell@silcom.com.

Vacant lot envisioned as bike hub and garden

This is the vacant lot being considered for a fossil-free demonstrationsite in Santa Barbara. The Amtrak depot is at the far right.

Safe Routes programneeds parents

If you’re the parent of a South Coast schoolyoungster, consider helping your child andothers enjoy safer bicycling to school. TheSafe Routes to School Task Force is seekingparents to assist at school bike safety rodeos.The Task Force people will do most of thearranging, you just have to help a bit. Tolearn more about what’s involved, contactthe Safe Routes coordinator DebbieCastanha at debbie_castanha@hotmail.com.

This coming school year, the Safe Routestask Force will be working with COAST andour Bicycle Coalition to hopefully put on10-12 bicycle safety training sessions.
