A beautiful day for a ride through San José

Many thanks to Adam at Greenbelt Alliance and Beth with CommUniverCity for involving SVBC in last Saturday's Cycling through San José bike tour. I had a great time. I was happy to see that almost half the group lived in other towns, so they learned a lot from our informational stops along the way.

Join our Membership and Volunteer Cooridinator for this year's Climate Ride California

Two years ago, I rode in the Climate Ride of California. Now, I am a full-time staffer at the organization for which I raised funds in the first place. It sounds serendipitous, but please continue reading about how I went on one of the greatest bicycle tours of my life, raised money for the cause, and found myself pursuing my passion.

Huge turnout at El Camino Real Precise Plan workshop

On Saturday, January 11, the City of Mountain View hosted a public workshop to describe and solicit community feedback for the El Camino Real and San Antonio Center Precise Plans. There is clearly interest in the two projects: over 100 people attended the 2.5-hour workshop, including members of environmental, transportation, housing, and equity organizations, as well as citizens who simply wanted to learn more and have a voice.
