_ Alhambra City Council Moves Another Step Closer to First Bike Plan
Thanks to the efforts of local residents and cycling advocates, the City of Alhambra moved another step closer to the development of the City’s first bike plan this month. On February 14th the City Council authorized staff to issue a request for proposals for a consultant. BikeSGV co-founder and former Alhambra Council Member spoke in support of the effort.  Read more about the meeting and what the Council had to say in the Alhambra Source’s coverage of the agenda item.                                 
Thanks again to all those who have taken the time to attend public meetings and/or write to their elected representatives. Public support was without question the driving factor behind the Council’s action to date (and will be needed as the process moves forward!).
 
South Pasadena Bike Plan – Implementation in Progress
Another piece of South Pasadena’s planned network of bike infrastructure should be installed in mid to late February when bike lanes are striped on Pasadena Ave. west of the Gold Line crossing. Although a short stretch of lane, the segment will provide local cyclists dedicated space along a regionally important stretch of road that is commonly used to access the Arroyo Seco Bike Path.
