EBBC Board of Directors

WHERE: Rockridge Branch Library, 5366 Manila Ave

The EBBC Board meets just before our regular monthly meeting. Several important items are on the agenda, including:

A=Action R=Report

  1. Recess into Closed Session Discussion, Pending Litigation - A
  2. Report on Closed Session - R
  3. 2009 Bike to Work Day budget - A
  4. Outreach Coordinator interview subcommittee A

Report hazards, potholes can lead to the hospital

Report hazards, potholes can lead to the hospital

Recent rains have added to the number of hazardous potholes on popular bikeways.

One of EBBC’s most successful advocacy efforts is our Hazard Reporting Program (click “Hazards” on the top bar). We take your grassroots report and send it to the correct jurisdiction and department along with a liability notice.

Guess what? The majority of your hazard reports result in quick action. After all, prudent officials prefer to send out a repair crew rather than pay $$$ millions for an injury settlement.

Please help us get the roads repaired. Next time you encounter a hazard to bicycling that can be readily corrected by a maintenance crew, take note of the next cross street and report the hazard location and your direction of travel.

Let’s also toast to Ian MacDonald, EBBC’s “hazard guy” who follows-up on all reports.

Caldecott Fourth Bore Coalition

FBC Partners
EBBC’s partners in the Caldecott Fourth Bore Coalition (FBC) have sued Caltrans to consider reasonable transit-bike alternatives to single-minded freeway expansion, and to mitigate for the traffic, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and unsustainable growth that added freeway lanes threaten to bring to the East Bay.
