Advocates rally in Live Oak in support of rail, urge RTC to keep tracks intact

I wish I could have been there, but had to work.

> The rally largely stems from the RTC’s decision last December to build 8 miles of the Coastal Rail Trail over the tracks rather than next to them as was previously planned.

> The move signified a major reversal from the long-standing plans, and has heightened concern among rail advocates that it is the first step toward the death of passenger rail, especially if the tracks are removed.

> County voters soundly rejected 2022’s Measure D, which would have included plans for a trail without rail service in the county’s general plan. Of the votes cast, 73% were against Measure D.

Why does Capitola hate pedestrians?

Back in August, it seemed like Capitola was finally going to do something about pedestrian safety on Bay Avenue.

Well unfortunately if you judge people on what they actually do instead of just what they say, Capitola residents and the city council disappoint us once again. No roundabouts and another year or so of delays to getting any actual safety improvements implemented.
