We met at Sunriver Park in Rancho Cordova in the early evening.
SABA’s new Executive Director, Becky Garrow, was the tour leader. There were riders from 50 Corridor TMA, SABA, and American River Bike Patrol.
Just a 10-mile ride on the American River Bike Trail. Becky shared lots of information about the surrounding area, bridges, and the American River. Quite interesting.
RSA = Road Safety Audit for the SacRT Safe Routes to Transit grant. This bus just happened to be nearby, it was not a part of our audit.
City of Folsom traffic engineers, representatives from Civic Thread, DKS Consulting, and SABA (me) walked along streets with high injury or fatalities statistics and noted hazards or obstructions to safely walking or biking to access public transit.
E Bidwell St: five lanes wide, fast-moving traffic, no bike lanes, up to 1 1/2 miles between pedestrian crossings means improvement needed.
Debrief at the end.
on Monday. Shrimp with homemade cocktail sauce and French bread pizza with sausage, clams and mushrooms.
Fun day. Breakfast at Thais and Lenin’s. Carson holding Tetsuko. All the chickens have “old lady names”. Tetsuko is an old-lady name in Japan.
After breakfast, we went to Ciavarella Park. All the moms were honored before the game began.
Carson hit an inside-the-park home run.
Safe!
With a 6-4 lead in the 6th inning, the Closer came in to finish it off.
This was a win in the championship playoffs. All Stars comes next.
Christian Brothers prom was Saturday evening at the Sheraton downtown. Apparently going to the State Capitol and the surrounding gardens is the thing to do these days to take before-prom pictures. With at least three other high schools having their proms tonight, there were hundreds of well-dressed teens along with family members taking LOTS of pictures.
Jeremiah and Sophia:
A group of 16 people met on Saturday morning at Peregrine Park and rode to W Sacramento for the Breathe Bike Fest – the kickoff event for May is Bike Month. This was a Jibe-organized ride.
On Friday evening I rode sweep for BarbaraL on a ride featuring the Velo Lancer program at Cordova High School which is sponsored by the American River Bike Patrol.
Lots of Patrollers on this ride, just one veteran Velo Lancer, and Charlie!
This local advocacy group meets monthly. I was invited for a brief discussion about the Active Transportation Commission annual report.
at St Michael’s.
Terri and I went to The Fort Sutter Hotel for drinks and shared a delicious roasted pear and prosciutto pizza before going to B St Theatre to see Franklinland. We weren’t in our regular seats .. we were in the center, row 2. What a great up-close perspective.
