Bicycling Monterey 💚🌎🌍🌏<p>At yesterday’s Vision Zero meeting for Monterey County, the challenges of Salinas Road were among topics discussed. In fact, on Wednesday, a Watsonville resident traveling by bike was going north on the shoulder of Salinas Road when he attempted to make a left turn and was hit by a GMC Yukon. The Yukon’s driver fled the scene. Good Samaritans assisted the injured bike commuter. Thank you to law enforcement; the driver has been arrested and faces felony <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/HitAndRun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HitAndRun</span></a> charges.</p><p>Report by Ricardo Tovar, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/KSBW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KSBW</span></a>: <a href="https://www.ksbw.com/article/arrest-hit-run-bicyclist-monterey-county/64445594" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ksbw.com/article/arrest-hit-ru</span><span class="invisible">n-bicyclist-monterey-county/64445594</span></a></p><p>Thanks also to Amelia Conlen of Transportation Agency for <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Monterey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Monterey</span></a> County for organizing yesterday’s mtg, and to Congressman Jimmy <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Panetta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Panetta</span></a> for securing <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/USDOT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USDOT</span></a> funding for TAMC to develop a Monterey County Regional Vision Zero Plan: <a href="https://www.tamcmonterey.org/tamc-to-receive-640-000-federal-grant-for-monterey-county-regional-vision-zero-plan" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">tamcmonterey.org/tamc-to-recei</span><span class="invisible">ve-640-000-federal-grant-for-monterey-county-regional-vision-zero-plan</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/VisionZero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VisionZero</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MontereyCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MontereyCounty</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MontereyBay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MontereyBay</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/California" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>California</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/USDepartmentOfTransportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USDepartmentOfTransportation</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SS4A" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SS4A</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SafeStreetsAndRoadsForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SafeStreetsAndRoadsForAll</span></a></p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a> photo of a gold-colored <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Cervelo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cervelo</span></a> bicycle with right tire badly damaged by a collision.</p>
