2008: Calistoga Gets Scenic Loops!

It may sound trivial, but it was a big deal back in 2008. After months of discussion, Calistoga's Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) persuaded the City that way-finding signs would be helpful to visitors wanting to take a bike ride around town. One determined member of the BAC invested hours with a barely cooperative ex-employee of Public Works (nameless and long gone) to personally assist with placement of  Bike Route signs around town, and to define two color-coded riding loops.

The Red Loop is the route for exploring the west side of town.

The Yellow Loop is the route for seeing the east side of town.

The results are obviously helpful. But why was it such a struggle? Hopefully those days are just ancient history.
