Help Keep the Maricopa Bike Lane

February 5, 2021

Official concept rendering of proposed final changes to Maricopa Highway.

On Wednesday, February 10th at 6 PM, Ojai City Council will hold a special meeting to review, discuss, and receive feedback on the new bike lane. The City received an outpouring of negative comments when the bike lane went up, so it's imperative that we show support ahead of the meeting.

The most important thing you can do now to support the bike lane is to submit a letter to City Council.

It can be as simple as:

  • I support the Maricopa Highway bike lane.

  • You can also include personal accounts such as I live in Meiners Oaks, and now I feel comfortable riding my bike to VONS and back!

  • Have suggestions for improvement? Include those too!

Don't feel like writing your own letter? Let us send one on your behalf! Just submit your name and email address in the form linked below.

Want to do more? Attend the virtual meeting to voice your support for the bike lane. The meeting starts at 6 PM on Wednesday, 2/10/21. You'll need to sign up ahead of time (link below).

Need more information on the bike lane project? The city has posted a great FAQ page on the project website, with information about project planning, funding, decision making, and ongoing improvements.
