Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets....
as if one bike path drama wasn't enough, now we got two: Modoc Road and Santa Claus Lane, and this is what happens when too many people keep coming here as in PRO-GROWTHERS, or as I call them: SOBs..
they want their own little bike paths everywhere so they don't feel threatened by cars or whatever else scares them...however this ain't that.. this is a multi-purpose path for bikes, ebikes, skateboarders, people walking their dogs, wheelchairs, and at night I'm sure a few coyotes will use it...as a matter of fact, they should call it Coyote Path
Looking at the SBROADS pictures which I won't print because it's too upsetting, it seems they are cramming these projects in and the Santa Claus Lane path looks crazy, sandwiched in between the highway and railroad tracks...for 8 MILLION DOLLARS!! they all cost 8 million dollars!!
it's not a coastal access path because it's nowhere near the ocean but it is the beginning of the end of Santa Claus Lane, one of the last rural beach roads in California where you could park and go right to the beach..but it got too popular and the County is going to "improve" it after CALTRANS destroys it
but as far as the Class 1 goes, I have a feeling the bicyclists will get tired of sharing the path and switch back to the Via Real route which has a true bike lane
wouldn't that be ironic...
