Hi, Tian: <br>
<br>
<br>
Could you please clarify the issue? <br>
<br>
<br>
On the sccgov.org web link you provided below, I see mention of
bicycle parking and safety improvements plus "Construction of Bicycle
Detection Loops on Lawrence Expressway". <br>
<br>
<br>
Where is there information about restricting peaceful assembly
and use of public roads by bicyclists? <br>
<br>
<br>

I'm going to the meeting on Tuesday. Anyone else interested?

Description
The proposed County of Santa Clara Special Event Ordinance threatens
cycling events! Join us at the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors
meeting next Tuesday, June 22, to voice your concerns. The item is on
the agenda for 10 am, and is located in the BOARD OF SUPERVISORS'
CHAMBERS, 70 West Hedding Street, San Jose. Consider reading the agenda
and proposed ordinance (scroll down to agenda item #5). If you are not
able to join us in person, please email or call your Supervisor (click
here for contact info).
SVBC has been active in discussions with the County of Santa Clara
regarding this issue for several years, and our position is as follows:
"The Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition asks the Board of Supervisors to
reject the Special Events Ordinance for County Roads as it currently
stands, and to send it back to staff with the request it be simplified,
clarified, and made consistent with the California Vehicle code. In
particular, the ordinance should include a definition of what
constitutes a "Special Event."
We appreciate the efforts of County staff to work with the County
Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and other members of the
bicycling community. We have spent many hours together working on this
ordinance, and it is greatly improved from the original. Nevertheless,
the current draft ordinance remains poorly worded, confusing, and
overreaching. In regard to bicycling, the County has no legal authority,
and no legitimate interest, in imposing conditions on bicycle traffic on
County roads.
