Caltrans Not on Same Path as O.C. Cyclists

Re “O.C. Wetlands Renewal Project Putting the Squeeze on Cyclists,” March 16: Caltrans’ treatment of all the commuting and training bicyclists that have for years used Pacific Coast Highway at Bolsa Chica has been highhanded and arbitrary, despite its own claim to “fully consider” bicyclists. The Orange County Bicycle Coalition has tried many times to make contact with most of Caltrans’ local officials, and (except for one meeting at which the local deputy director promised to “research the issue” and never did) there has been no response beyond a few brief e-mails from a public relations person, who is very nice but lacks authority to help.
