An enlarged view of prior photo depicting homes near the pathway. Windmill and tank suggests some residents may have been responsible for their own water.

Path was built with the expectation of second independent lane of traffic. Notice extra width. Could have been an interesting exercise to monitor, maintain/police seven miles of elevated track. It may be of significance that most Cycleway photos appear to have been taken at the direction of the Southern Pacific RR. Does anyone know what the SPRR's interest may have been in this project? Could the Cycleway have been relying upon easements and rights of way belonging to the SPRR? Was promoter, Horace Dobbins, working with the SPRR, various transit companies or the various governmental entities who might have some say over the project? Have to assume the project would not go unnoticed by the all burgeoning transit concerns, and any one else who might profit from this sort of enterprise.

Fair Oaks on the right. Any of those structures still there?





The 10 cent fare? Correct change only? Personal checks?

Wondered how the bicycles were elevated to Cycleway. Ramp or stairs? (Looks like some stairs may have been involved! The three-wheeler operated by Margret Hamilton's Mum may have been excluded from the cycleway.)
