Rich,
Those streets you ride your bike on, they were built primarily for cars and trucks not bikes. Oh and by the way, the money to fund construction and maintenance is collected gas tax funds. We should add a bicycle tax and build dedicated bike paths, come on bike coalition, lets work on that!

tabatha,
You do know I was referring to the moving of President Reagan to the library and the public viewing. Not the day to day operation of the library. Perhaps you forgot, but major roads where closed in order to transport the body to Simi Valley.

Did the Federal government and the Reagan family get the proper permits for the show at the Reagan Library?

Duh Kelp,
Why are you bringing up crime rates? I only commented on the stupidity of the WHITE kids. Technically speaking Hispanics are caucasian or didn't you know?

White kids are as dumb as they come! Not one of those idiots notified the authorities or an adult.

bill,
The one with the agenda is you and it's crystal clear. That resident your speak of, I'm guessing lives on Fig. Even by New York standards, I wouldn't consider Fig a residential street. Talk about zoning mistakes!! What 50 y.o. idiot would want their single family home in commerical/industrial zone!! Suggest she sell and move to say to a nice rural town like Sanger or Reedley, if she can't stand the loud drunks.

bill,
You keep talking about the people that live there. Reminds of a situation up in the Central Valley, were the residents of a new subdivision complained to the local City Council about the smell generated by a nearby dairy farm. If you're dumb enough to move in right next door, well you get what you deserve. And are you just dense? NO ACOUSTICAL STUDY COMPLETED TO DATE HAS SHOWN THE NOISE LEVELS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE!! Fact of life, some people just bitch and whine about everything. Santa Barbara just happens to have more than any other City I've ever lived in. Just so you know, I'm a native New Yorker and I find the night life in S.B. to be pedestrian. So you should be very proud of how lame downtown is.

bill,
You haven't illustrated anything other than your own bias against the bars downtown. It's you that, "lack the ability to see the world in a way that includes anyone else's well-being." People like you take a bar fight and turn it into the St. Valentine's Day massacre. Acoustical studies have shown that the music levels are well within acceptable levels, in addition to the police that check the noise levels. Bring some real data to discussion not just what ONE person told you. Try talking with real hotel guest, like I DID!

Rich,
(a) Thanks for stating the obvious.
(b) Measure A is a local tax. The majority of the funds for road construction and repair comes from State gas tax revenue. Developer traffic impact fees and assessment districts also fund new road construction. Local roads are relatively cheap to build, it's the ongoing maintenance and improvements that's costly. Measure A also funds public transportation and alternative transportation modes, which are used by the people that don't drive.
(c) Of course you can ride your bike on the street, even a 6 year old child can legally ride a bike in the street, but as I stated, they are built primarily for cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles not bikes. The fact that you can do it legally doesn't make it the safest thing to do.
By separating bikes and cars eliminates the conflicts you mentioned. May even save a few lives.
