Beach Flats Community Garden Threatened 
Domingo Mendoza is on the front page of the Santa Cruz Sentinel today, planting romero (rosemary). He's been told he shouldn't plant, that after this week, he'll no longer have access to the land he's worked for about fifteen years.
He pointed out a full grown peach tree in blossom yesterday, and mentioned that he planted it.
The Beach Flats Community Garden has had its ups and downs over the years, constantly reminded that the land is leased, rather than owned, that at any point the la...

Coonerty Uses New Consent Agenda Gag Rule At the 3-25 Santa Cruz City Council meeting, Mayor Ryan Coonerty refused to allow members of the public to pull items off the 16-item Consent Agenda for public comment and individual vote. Instead he implemented a "public comment limit" of two minutes for the entire 16-items (or a little over 6 seconds for each item if one wanted to talk on each one). This is the first time Coonerty has so clearly activated this new power of the Council to deny the public the right to speak on nearly half t...

Traffic School For Bikes - An Editorial Santa Cruz, California has just begun a traffic school for "errant" bicyclists.
http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/ci_8676416
Perhaps it's too early to venture an opinion on this but my instinct says this is a really stupid idea. Why? Well, for one thing, the reasons bicyclists get cited for traffic violations in the first place only makes sense if you accept the premise that roads are mainly for automobiles and bicycles are an equivalent technology....
