No one knows Santa Ana’s streets like the people who live there, and a group of local youth has used that knowledge in an unprecedented effort to get the city a $2.37 million grant for bike lanes on the roads they ride every day.The small group of middle and high school students, working with nonprofit KidWorks, spearheaded a “bikability” assessment in central Santa Ana two years ago and realized that the thoroughfare they rode on to get to school – Edinger Avenue – was in great need of bike lanes.With some guidance from KidWorks staff and Santa Ana planners, the youth wrote a grant for active transportation funding from the state, and late last month they learned the project submitted through the city had been awarded the money.

Tommy Gray- Labour’s biggest by-election winner in Chorley with a 12.7 per cent wing
CROSS POSTED ON BYLINE.COM
One interest I found I share with Ukip’s leader Nigel Farage is that both us every week check the Twitterfeed of @britainelects – which provides details of every local council by-election in Britain.
Our exchange at the book launch of Lord Ashcroft’s Call Me Dave unauthorised biography revealed that both of us have a healthy scepticism of opinion polls but a mutual interest in seeing how real voters are turning out to vote in by elections across the country.
Corbyn’s mauling in the mainstream media coupled with distrust among the Parliamentary party one might expect no one in their right mind to vote Labour and for evidence in advance of the Oldham Parliamentary by-election that he is already in trouble.
In fact the reverse is true which might explain why the same…

Veterans Day won’t be just another day off this year.
Fourteen city hotels and restaurants want to make sure the city’s veterans know they’re appreciated. B’More Moving Forward, a group formed after the April riots to restore “positive commentary” about the city, is hosting dinner with the hotels and restaurants for 1,000 veterans.
“The dinner is just a small way for us to show our appreciation and gratitude to those who’ve protected and served our country,” said Judi DiGioia, coordinator of…

From Oldham Blue Coat school, you can just about make out, across the south Pennines, the cotton mills that once made the town wealthy. In Jason Casey’s A-level class there is a range of emerging political views. Some of the class are already old enough to vote. They are universally hostile towards Ukip. To one or two, the Tories seem the natural rulers. James Tierney is a Conservative supporter because “they can control the economy better” but he does not want to cast a “wasted vote”, so will probably vote Labour. Most are, however, eager to hear more from Corbyn, though Anna Worthington fears that her mother’s job in business would be at risk if he were to become prime minister, and Iwan Phillips, a Labour member who supported Andy Burnham, is conscious that “there are some people who will never, ever vote for Corbyn”. Nuala Scott is unswayed by their concerns: “He’s going to bring in more voters that are disillusioned, because Labour actually stand for something now.”
