Historic survey identifies Chukchansi Park site as 1894 bicycle mail starting point

A historic resource survey identifies 1830 Tulare Street, now the site of Chukchansi Park, as the starting location of Fresno's 1894 Bicycle Mail Route. Arthur Banta's Victor Cyclery launched the emergency service after the Pullman Strike halted rail traffic, carrying mail 210 miles to San Francisco from July 7 to July 21, 1894. The city-owned site appears eligible for Fresno's Local Register of Historic Resources under Criterion (i); no approval or designation is stated.
