California Department of Transportation to repave El Camino Real, add bicycle lanes
Sounds good, but...
"Cycling club adviser Natalie Docktor said finding alternative routes to improve bicycle safety might work better for both cyclists and businesses.
“Businesses need parking to stay in business. It would be best to find a parallel street and create a bike lane”
What is she advising them to do? Drive cars?

Bike lanes along El Camino? Caltrans proposal catches city off balance
Not sure exactly what's going on here, but certainly a bit of paint next to 50 MPH traffic isn't going to do anything to encourage biking. The article screams "CALTRANS REPLACING PARKING WITH BIKE LANES!" so we know where they stand. Anyone have more insight into this?
