Temporary Solution for Golden Gate Bridge Pedestrian/Cyclist Congestion

The Golden Gate Bridge officials have attempted to divide cyclists and pedestrians in an attempt to alleviate the congestion that has resulted since the west sidewalk of the bridge has been closed for construction. The west side of the bridge is normally reserved for cyclists on weekends, but since the 31st of May, cyclists and pedestrians have been forced to share the east-side, resulting in overcrowding.

Officials temporary solution? To lay down painted lines separating pedestrians and cyclists.

27-Year-Old Cyclist Injured on Golden Gate Bridge

27-year-old cyclist, Sarah Kaplan, was recently injured while riding her bicycle across the Golden Gate bridge. The west sidewalk of the bridge, which is usually reserved for bicyclists on weekends, has been closed since the 31st of May, causing major congestion on the east sidewalk.

As a result of the overcrowding on the east sidewalk, Kaplan was unable to avoid a woman taking scenic photos, and fell onto the ground after crashing into the bridge railing. Kaplan suffered a broken elbow and will be unable to ride her bike for as much as two months. The west sidewalk of the bridge is scheduled to reopen at the beginning of October.

Judicial Council Budget Decisions

"This was an historic session of the Judicial Council, called to make budget decisions for the branch for the current fiscal year, bound to have a dramatic impact on the public. On top of $652 million in cuts in the last 4 years, legislators and the governor chopped the court’s operational funds for this year by an unprecedented $350 million – ongoing cuts – and raided another $310 million from the court construction fund. The council met to decide how to deal with the financial body blow.

Council members acknowledged that there’s more pain to come. If state revenue forecasts don’t meet specified targets by this December, there will be additional cuts early next year."
