Good news: Governor Newsom signed SB 1167! Authored by Senator Catherine Blakespear and co-sponsored by CalBike, the new law draws a clear line between legal e-bikes and high-powered electric devices too often marketed as e-bikes.

Housing policy is climate policy and I’m grateful for the endorsement of an organization that really gets that. 🙏🌞

Here's a question on San Pablo Ave protected bikeways at the Berkeley District 1 council candidate forum yesterday. Unfortunately all the candidates indicated they support "parallel" bikeways on side streets but not protected facilities on SPA. Lots of work to do, it seems. youtu.be/MQViCqABWTg?...

Thanks to everyone who supported safe biking along Hopkins! The plan passed 7-2! While we wait for more official records, the below is a good summary of the key motions and votes.

In case you need a reminder, tomorrow’s Council meeting is CRITICAL and safe biking will need a lot of support - ideally in person!

Berkeley leaders will decide on an updated plan to build the long-debated bike lanes, at the expense of more than 100 parking spaces.

Albany's great bike/walk plan update is going to City Council for approval this Monday, July 6. But the plan's Solano Ave protected bikeway recommendation is getting a lot of pushback. Help out by emailing support comments NOW or joining the meeting on Monday! www.tinyurl.com/SolanoStreetscapeFAQ

It’s not technically Berkeley but it’s right over the border… the good folks at East Bay YIMBY have put together a mailer to support the proposed senior housing on Claremont near College!

If you want a yard sign, go to Headlands Berkeley Sunday midday! You’ll get to meet the incredibly cool @libbington.bsky.social and other great people!

Last week I had a chat with an out-of-towner who said "I've never been somewhere with so many yard signs about local issues. The only signs I see in Florida say 'for sale'!" So anyway, want another yard sign? I'll be at Headlands Berkeley from 11am-2pm handing these out on Sunday, June 14. See ya!
