October 10 deadline.
California Bicycle Coalition / #CalBike wants input from all 58 CA counties. Especially needed: feedback from people who bike or walk in #Fresno, #Kern, #SanBernardino, #SanJoaquin, #Solano, #Tulare, and #Ventura counties.
https://bikemonterey.org/complete-streets-in-california-survey-on-state-controlled-roads.html
"Almost every California community has a state highway that doubles as a local street. These are often the most dangerous roads, because the California Department: of Transportation / Caltrans has historically prioritized moving cars quickly over the safety of people #biking and #walking.
"CalBike is seeking input from people who use these local streets to help create a report on the safety of Caltrans-controlled #roadways. Please fill out CalBike's survey." https://form.jotform.com/CalBikeCoalition/completestreets
Respond now—or by Oct 6—to State Highways #CompleteStreets survey from #California #Bicycle Coalition.
If you #bike, #walk, use #PublicTransit or drive in 1 or more of 58 California counties, advocate for #CompleteStreets via your input:

Techbros now own about about 50% of Eastern #Solano county and are suing #farmers who won't sell land to them for their new "planned city". #CaliforniaForever https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/solano-county-farm-ranchers-18343048.php
For the reporters, editors and headline writers who persist in calling California Forever a "utopian" project, bear in mind what one of the principals, Mike Moritz, wrote to his billionaire pals when he was shopping the idea around.
Per The New York Times: "The financial gains could be huge, Mr. Moritz said in the 2017 pitch. He estimated the return could be many times the initial investment just from the rezoning, and far more if and when they started building.
"'If the plans materialize anywhere close to what is being contemplated, this should be a spectacular investment,' Mr. Moritz wrote."
No surprise there, really. You don't get these folks to put up $800 million without the promise of a big return somewhere down the road.
Bearing that in mind, be prepared for an insanely expensive local election campaign if this "utopia" goes to the Solano County ballot.

Controlled burn supervised by multiple agencies is planned to occur along Highway 128, from Pleasant Valley Road to Canyon Creek Resort in #Yolo County, between May 29 and 31, 2023 CalFire officials announced.

Food news: Sonoma County-based Mary's Pizza Shack announced today that it is closing its Dixon, Napa and Novato locations as part of company wide restructuring and due to "unchanging realities of increased food & labor costs mixed w/other compounding issues facing our industry."

CAL FIRE LNU LIFTS BURNING PERMITS IN SRAs
"Recent rains & cooler temperatures across the region have lowered the threat of wildfires. Thus, we are lifting the requirement on CAL FIRE Permits needed for burning in the State Responsibility Areas (SRA) of #Colusa, #Napa, #Solano, #Sonoma & #Yolo counties effective Monday at 8 am."
Permits are still required in Lake County (https://www.southlakecountyfire.org/home/permits/)
