The '''["Davis Bike Loop"]''' was thus born! While the majority of the city is intensely ["bicycles" bicycle]-friendly, the loop was designed as a way to have clear, continuous, and safe passage for bicyclists around town -- and, most importantly, avoids all potential ["bicycle hazards"]. The loop features several underpasses and overpasses, grade separated bike paths and amenities. - - For more information, see our '''["Davis Bike Loop"]''' page.

["Summer in Davis"] ? Or is something more topical going on? --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - * ["World’s Greatest Bicycle Parade"] would make sense in about seven weeks, although it could use some serious love between now and then. I'd like to see some of the seldom featured ones featured -- either a local activity like making ["Dandelion Wine"] or being strong willed and featuring an organization, church or business that has an especially good writeup and/or important connection to Davis. I think there's a concern about seeming biased for a given organization, church or business, so those entries are omitted from consideration, which seems a bit too far in the other direction (after all, they are part of Davis, and some have really interesting histories or connections in their entries). Other ideas... the triumvirate of iced cream, yogurt and gelato? Seems the right time of year. How about some of the botanical entries for things that are common and happen to be pretty right now? (Don would probably know some good ones). Oooo... how about writing up a ''street''? Have all the things along it and that have ''been'' along it, and thus literally capture a slice of Davis (and have a couple dozen entries linked from the featured entry spot)? The featured entry writeup could be relocated to the street entry when done. --["Users/JabberWokky" Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards] - * Those are all good ideas. The botanical one kind of grabs me because I see a lot of Davisites who put a lot of time into their gardens, yet it's not usually one of the things that gets highlighted about Davis. Also, as the weather starts to turn beastly hot, it's good to have something positive to focus on (so, I'm sympathetic to the ice cream/yogurt/gelato, too). Again, though, they are all good ideas, though I admit to being wary about featuring most businesses or organizations -- if you do one, then it seems as though you have to do others of the same type for "balance," and I would hate to start down that slippery slope. And yes, there are some I would definitely feel uncomfortable about "promoting." --["Users/CovertProfessor"] - * A big enough team of oxen can haul a load up any slippery slope. It would take strong community will and vision, coupled with a simple "No, there is no need for balance because the featured entry is chosen because the entry contains '''Davis relevant''' info, '''not''' to promote a given cause, religion or business". The history of some churches date back to the early days of Davis and served multiple purposes over the years. Hibbert Lumber has an interesting history in the town; the Enterprise would be another local business whose history is interwoven into the town. The Friends of the UCD Arboretum have a fascinating history (although the entry is a seed right now). Featuring current and historic bicycle activists and organizations who help shape and have shaped the town doesn't mean that every other organization has a history significant enough to feature. --["Users/JabberWokky" Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards] - - * How about something simple for now, like the ["World Cup"] page? Might give people an excuse to get out and visit a local bar/restaurant to catch a game. -- ["Users/MikeIvanov" Mike] - ------ - I don't have time to do a writeup right now, but what say we get the Pledge Drive events on the featured page, including a link for donating items for the auction? - ------ - - Are there other voter guides we can link to here? Linking to a single voter guide on the front page is equivalent to endorsement, and we are not allowed to endorse candidates for public office as a 501(c)3 non-profit.

As fall approaches, our green town is covered by dry leafs of all colors and sorts. Most gardeners have resorted to leaf-blowers to deal with the issue in an efficient but messy and noisy manner. Some Davisites seek a ban on gas-powered leaf-blowers to cut down on the noise pollution and dust, while others dislike the idea because of likely added costs to renters and the degree of personal intrusiveness. Where do you stand? You can join the discussion ["Banning Leaf-Blowers" here].

The history of some churches date back to the early days of Davis and served multiple purposes over the years. Hibbert Lumber has an interesting history in the town; the Enterprise would be another local business whose history is interwoven into the town. The Friends of the UCD Arboretum have a fascinating history (although the entry is a seed right now). Featuring current and historic bicycle activists and organizations who help shape and have shaped the town doesn't mean that every other organization has a history significant enough to feature. --["Users/JabberWokky" Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards]

The botanical one kind of grabs me because I see a lot of Davisites who put a lot of time into their gardens, yet it's not usually one of the things that gets highlighted about Davis. Also, as the weather starts to turn beastly hot, it's good to have something positive to focus on (so, I'm sympathetic to the ice cream/yogurt/gelato, too). Again, though, they are all good ideas, though I admit to being wary about featuring most businesses or organizations -- if you do one, then it seems as though you have to do others of the same type for "balance," and I would hate to start down that slippery slope. And yes, there are some I would definitely feel uncomfortable about "promoting." --["Users/CovertProfessor"]

	+ * ["World’s Greatest Bicycle Parade"] would make sense in about seven weeks, although it could use some serious love between now and then. I'd like to see some of the seldom featured ones featured -- either a local activity like making ["Dandelion Wine"] or being strong willed and featuring an organization, church or business that has an especially good writeup and/or important connection to Davis. I think there's a concern about seeming biased for a given organization, church or business, so those entries are omitted from consideration, which seems a bit too far in the other direction (after all, they are part of Davis, and some have really interesting histories or connections in their entries). Other ideas... the triumvirate of iced cream, yogurt and gelato? Seems the right time of year. How about some of the botanical entries for things that are common and happen to be pretty right now? (Don would probably know some good ones). Oooo... how about writing up a ''street''? Have all the things along it and that have ''been'' along it, and thus literally capture a slice of Davis (and have a couple dozen entries linked from the featured entry spot)? The featured entry writeup could be relocated to the street entry when done. --["Users/JabberWokky" Evan 'JabberWokky' Edwards]
