Transportation settings where many people are in shared indoor space for extended periods of time are vulnerable to spreading COVID-19 to large numbers of people. The new mask requirement is supported by the CDC's latest assessment that masking on public transportation remains essential to protecting public health. This order pertains to buses, taxis, ride-shares, commuter trains, subways, airport and bus terminals, and other ports. Masks continue to be one of the most effective ways to prevent s...

Re: [Foothill Cycle Club: 1486] Fwd: Make Griffith Park Safer for ALL Users

While this accident is tragic and a waste it's symptomatic of a greater problem of public awareness and personal responsibility. Making sellers of alcohol responsible for results of another consuming a product they sell is a slippery slope. Under this notion where would it end ? Would a super market be liable for liquor sold given as a gift to some end user. Or a restaurant be liable for a patron having one to many be able to give the appearance of maintaining sobriety? Who would patrol this? As it stands a bar or restaurant can refuse service to drunk patrons. I will point out that there are already laws on the books for drunk driving. Which can be very stringent but the ultimate responsibility is the driver. The current sentiment toward this sort is crime has been in some cases very harsh but in others not so much. In this particular case not only was the perp intoxicated but was also from my understanding traveling 3 x the speed limit AND he tried to flee the scene of the crime....

I'm saddened to hear about the tragic accident of Andrew Jelmert.  May his soul Rest In Peace.  Regarding alcohol and drunk drivers, all places that sell or dispense alcoholic drink need to admonish buyers and/or partakers of alcohol at the time of sale the dangers associated with potential drunk driving.  Many if not most places, take your money for the alcohol without any malice as to what may happen during a drunk driving accident.  It's about time to make sellers of alcoholic beverages equally responsible for drunk driving accidents. I'm tired of hearing the arguments that reduce the sentence drunk drivers get.
