ACTION ALERT for folks who live, work and play in Pinole! 🚲 City Council may adopt an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) at tomorrow night’s meeting— but there are major design flaws, and it’s a step backward from the draft they last shared in 2024.

A graphic that looks like a yellow caution sign reads that Pinole’s proposed active transportation plan is flawed, and we’re asking city Council not to approve it
