2009: Calistoga Gets First Bicycle Map!

After working with a local graphic designer for many months, the Calistoga Bicycle Advisory Committee proudly unveiled the new City Bike Map. When viewing the map online the top half is upside down . . . it was designed as a paper map and is meant to be folded in a particular way. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Side 2 shows the whole town and the surroundings for context. Interestingly, after 4 years this map is not out of date. An unexpected 'benefit' to no progress on the bicycle network.

Considering Calistoga is a Bicycle Friendly Community, why is it so hard to find this map on the City of Calistoga's Website? Seems like it ought to have a place on the VISITORS tab, like the pool. Just try to find it on your own. Then click on either of the map captions above to see where to find its hiding place.
