Bike Tour with New HMB City Manager, Bob Nisbet, and Vice Mayor, Adam Eisen

This is where we visited…

• Biking lanes – next to library SHARROWS! allowing for bikes to ride down the center of the road, “calming” traffic near the library and middle school. Bulbouts allow pedestrians a shorter, safer trip across the street. A good model for Main Street. ~ DONE
• Crossing at skate park – good crossing example with pedestrian and bike activated blinking signals. ~ DONE
• Skate Park –  Water Fountain, signs, crooked signs showing a lot of wear and tear. ~ DONE
• School zone paths near Hatch Elementary between Myrtle St. and and Central Ave. need to be improved for walking safety, perhaps with decomposed granite. ~ DONE
• Design ideas for a new City Compound at Ted Adcock (City hall in one place (2-stories), police on Main St., EOC and Adam’s ideas for a community center. ~ DONE
• Highway one dangerous crossing for bikes. ~ DONE

  

• Seymour ditch drainage – City put rocks in this drainage area as a temporary measure, but more needs to be done. ~ DONE
• Old city dump, between Poplar parking lot and Seymour bridge, methane escapes periodically, what to do now? ~ DONE
• Rock Path after Seymour Bridge – possible future for our path. ~ DONE
• Under the Pilarcitos bridge homeless encampment. ~ DONE
• Cracked paved path by Cameron’s (City is negotiating with contractor to fix). ~ DONE
• Poplar Beach go down, noted this impossible grade for a wheelchair. Signage for beach access wheelchair at St. Francis State Beach. ~ DONE
• Horse go down (at the end of Miramontes St.). ~ DONE
• Widening our coastal path for bikes and pedestrians so people don’t go off the trail. ~ DONE
• Carter Park (it was dark by now) and what the future could hold as an amphitheater. ~ DONE

Next Ride…

Fix-It Ticket

Adam has an idea to create a place on the city website where people can “pull a fix-it ticket” for things that need to be fixed around the City.
