Ride the City
This ride started at City Hall and with a planned ending time of 8:00 in Oak Park. I did not want to ride back to the start point alone and later in the evening, so I drove to the end point early and rode to City Hall, arriving way too early of course since I didn’t know how this would work exactly.
Jennifer Donlon-Wyant organized this ride with City engineers and planners to tour bicycling infrastructure in Downtown Sacramento. 91 people signed up however only half that number showed up – whew, managing 90+ people on a downtown ride would have been challenging. Thanks to Deb and Rob from SABA for providing help at major intersections.
Stop #1 to learn about improvements to P, Q, and 21st Streets and the new ACE train station which will have no gas-burning vehicle parking but upgraded access for active transportation users.
Our final stop near Broadway in Oak Park:
What a great ride and I learned a lot. Bicycle infrastructure continues to grow in Sacramento.

There were also many opportunities to ask questions and make comments to various committee chairpeople and commissioners. There were about 10 of us. My station:

Thursday was our monthly meeting, but the first time for an in-person meeting in more than three years …
in the City of Sacramento Council Chambers.
Jennifer Donlon Wyant, Transportation Planning Manager, is the person who organizes and frequently presents at our meetings – one of her staff members took a few pictures of our group before the meeting started.
