Growing Pains
Maybe I was too harsh when I ridiculed the city for building a bicycle bridge across Interstate 5 with lousy concrete and misaligned rebar.
The bridge was a big screwup. But the city did right by residents when it told bridge contractors to jackhammer the new bridge and replace it with materials that meet spec and can stand for 75 years, as opposed to a decade or two.
The rebuilt bridge opened in December. This means the city managed to erect two bike bridges over I-5 and Riverside Boulevard in three years.

Court Jesters
I finally got around to reading a recent lawsuit about stopping the Sacramento River levee bike path. It’s the funniest thing I’ve read in awhile.
Several elements make the bike path lawsuit funny. First, it’s a CEQA suit, meaning it derives from the California Environmental Quality Act.
Being labeled a CEQA suit instantly identifies a legal complaint as unserious, filed for reasons that have nothing to do with constitutional questions, financial damages or grandma’s estate.
