CCC 2011-11-07T17:16:18Z CCC comment-59718 2011-11-04T23:38:34Z 2011-11-04T23:38:34Z Lanes are only useful if drivers and residents as well as cyclists mind them. Remember that garbage cans, delivery trucks and leaf piles often line the bike lanes in additon to swerving, texting drivers and the always present risk of getting doored. Lanes and associated infrastructure is the right idea but it takes cooperation to make these features safe and therefore viable. There are times when the sidewalk is the safest option and I could care less about pushing some "midtown" pedestrian's nose out of joint when my other option is the ER. I will gladly take my chance with the pedestrian. Having lived downtown for 30+ years, it became apparent many moons ago that cooperation is a lot better than aggravation. I dont aggressively hit the sidewalk as I realize it is mainly for pedestrians. The very idea that people who live downtown (Jennifer, for instance) actually prefer that I drive instead of taking some of their precious sidewalk is almost unbearable and at the very least, pathetic and ignorant . Downtown is a rotten place to drive and could be a great testing ground for bike/ped only thoroughfares, although it appears that logic and reason do not outweigh unfounded feelings of entitlement and selfishness. I too drive and ride, but driving downtown is a fool's errand- it is rarely necessary yet dominates the entire city. As far as the acrimonious comments about cyclists having to use the street or else, well that appears to be a statement from someone who does not ride all that much. for every claim about bike rudeness (often true, but not a rule) there are drivers who blow crosswalks, don't look before opening their doors while parking adjacent to a bike lane, don't signal, speed way beyond anything acceptable for a town with a stop sign every two blocks, talk on the phone and threaten cyclists with their vehicles as well as verbally. speeding cars have little room to slow and adapt to changes in the road ahead but it does not seem to matter as long as they get where they are going. this issue truly is a two a street and stereotyping about "idiots" on bikes really is not all that helpful. If my options are speeding commuters allowing me about two feet of clearance between their car and someone's car door, a leaf pile or other hazards in a bike lane, you can look for me on your sidewalk as long as it is the safer route.

Just because a business remains open does not necessarily imply it is" flourishing". That is not the point however, nor is whether these businesses are flourishing. The problem here is that Fahn and his cronies profess to supporting local businesses (mainly their own) but developed (destroyed) a corner that already had three really well established ones all for their own gain. That corner served as a destination for hanging out, live music, books, records etc. all of which worked together very well. Sounds like something that might be proposed to revive downtown now doesn't it? Now they are all split up and can no longer support each other in that fashion and instead were replaced with a failed lunch area and a cruddy lounge they could have built anywhere. Unless a sports bar is your idea of perfection which very well may be the case, you cannot deny that was a very local corner and therefore an integral part of local life.

I believe this is the same crew of suits (excepting DeVere who has created a great establishment that actually makes sense and fits in very well) that shut down the 15th and L corner that featured Beers Books, Esoteric Records and Capital Garage. I guess those local businesses did not put their "soul into their business" and Wong and Fahn thought it best to uproot them despite the financial strain and interruption of business all in the name of their own profit. Real sweethearts. The thought of these clowns (who actually believed that CPK would be an invigorating addition to the area) determining what downtown needs is enough to turn your stomach.

Not sure about Oracle's blast on downtown residents but no matter, it's a free country. CCC 2010-07-04T17:19:25Z CCC comment-31186 2010-06-24T16:35:01Z 2010-06-24T16:35:01Z huh?

"Whodat," it's your arrogance and hostility that are "unqualified." that is unreal. Almost as much as your confounding and preposterous distinction between midtown (a fictitious boundary) and downtown. any sacramentan worth their salt knows midtown only exists in the minds of those who came later or who want to profit from the image of an area not associated with the nefarious connotations of downtown. I am surprised you would buy into that being such a veteran and all. Why does it matter if I did not state where I played? Do you think there is a demographic or geographic difference between the distillery and old I. If you have played both, maybe you can tell us because I never noticed any difference. And finally, since I "may not know the history of the Sacramento scene over the past decades" perhaps you could fill me in because I guess I missed it while I was playing shows etc. do i need to give you a resume since you are obviously the last word on Sacramento music? Don't you find it odd that more than a few people are upset by your article and could you not at least acknowledge you may have overstated things ( a fundamental of journalism) a bit rather than acting spoiled and defensive. As for your thinly veiled digs at mine and others false names, do you think Kevin's last name is really Seconds? I guess that doesn't bother you though.

There may be doldrums from your point of view, but I and many others downtown never had a problem getting or booking shows whatsoever. It's all relative to your experience, but please do not insinuate I do not know the "scene." whatever that is. All I meant was before you toot horns you should know the score.

While those two have been active here in Sac and have made contributions to local music, there are plenty of bands that did just fine without them. What a slap in the face to hard working bands who have played for next to nothing in local venues because of their desire to play music-that's what keeps the "scene" alive, not someone taking door money and often going home with more dough than the bands . Remember, promoters would have nothing without the bands. Finally, how does Jerry Perry figure in getting paid because other musicians grew up here/played here? That is some wild logic.

As a daily cyclist, I will continue to use the sidewalk when necessary. At least I will be alive to pay a fine . .. . It should not be so difficult or dangerous to ride a bike downtown-too many cars little or no cooperation- only delivery vehicles, buses, residents and a few other types of vehicles should be allowed downtown. better alternative/ public transport-=no need for so many cars downtown.

People who do not care for marathons. I am sure if a band blocked someone's house so they could have a gig in the street there would be a diferent outcome. Marathons are so rude.

Where would you have me ride in this case? Out in the street in front of cars or the sidewalk?

As a daily commuter I am very conscientious of all elements in my view, however there are times when the street is simply not an option (RR track crossings, fear of death by vehicle, double parking, delivery vans etc)due to automotive traffic and often really surprisingly and hostile bad attitudes toward bikes. I drive as well but always share the road, why wouldn't anyone else extend the same courtesy? How hard is it to allow someone on a bike a little breathing room and perhaps some courtesy in not assuming all cyclists are the same just as I do not assume are drivers are all the same until proven otherwise. I regularly experience all sorts of foul comments regarding my mode of transportation and it is boggling. Are Sacramentans as ignorant as people think they are? I would like to think not. A bicycle is valid and has much more business downtown than your automobile. It is not a big place and can be biked /walked/bused/trained very easily. I also see many cyclists policing other cyclists regarding their riding habits, this is good too unless it degenerates into a lecture rather than advice. Anyway, this is a needlessly sore subject in a city that is far more perfect for cycling than driving. The street goes both ways.

Are you having trouble finding the "other" library entrance too? If you get rid of public transportation, what do you think the parking problem will be like? if you are driving, you are part of the problem and cannot complain about parkingwithout being a hypocrite. As far as the " rest of the area" and their opinions- although I don't see any evidence to back this statement whatsoever. what would you prefer,? downtown more closely resembling Natomas, Granite Bay or that hotspot known as Elk Grove? Sprawl is much better than a treelined city. Now we can all go to Linens and Things whenever we want and then maybe some crummy chain restaurant. Now that's progress. CCC 2009-09-02T18:51:58Z
