1. Convert much of the low-lying land into coastal wetlands with reeds and walkways. Like the huge parking lot north of the grandstand and most of the track itself. It could look like Coyote Hills Regional Park: maps.app.goo.gl/BhPYVkSw13JX...

The prescribed burn on Angel Island happened again today, and supposedly ended at 2:15. But the smell is lingering over the East Bay, due to almost no winds. Somebody open the Bay window!

For example: the plan is to bring the path down on Essex Street, where the freeway exits. That's sensible for cyclists but not for pedestrians, like tourists on the Embarcadero. Better (or in addition) would be to put an elevator on the base structure, to provide quick access to the waterfront.

The east span of the Bay Bridge should have a sidewalk/bikeway. @mtcbata.bsky.social has done renderings, including this engineering concept. While this would have positive transportation and equity benefits, I wish MTC would look at the tourism angle more. antiochherald.com/2026/09/bay-...

Thinking of getting rid of fossil fuels from your home and car, by going all electric? You likely don't need to upgrade your electric service. Only 2% of homes in the PG&E area had peak power demand over 88 amps, and half had peaks of only 30A. Research here: static1.squarespace.com/static/538be...

Not sure how Bloomberg measures it in their study, but I would think 20 kW and up is DC fast charge. Plugshare.com is a good place to find them.

A useful tidbit in the Berkeley war on cars -- only 30% of Berkeley workers drive to work. Berkeley is the fourth lowest city in the country for share of car commuters.

Another reminder that the cost of adapting to climate change is going to be many many times greater than taking action to prevent it. And some of the richest people in America are going to want you to pay for their losses. www.sfchronicle.com/climate/arti...

I'm listening to a British ambient music artist, named Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan. The music is inspired by urban planning from the 1980s in a small city near Manchester. It's surprisingly emotional, both the music and the text. warrington-runcorn-cis.bandcamp.com/album/the-na...

California now has over 2.5 million electric cars on the road, exceeding a goal set by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2012. Going electric can take a big chunk out of energy consumption, because the vehicles are so much more efficient than gas burners.

A #SparetheAir Alert has been issued for January 1. Personal fireworks and residential wood burning are expected to cause localized elevated pollution levels. Light rain and winds are not expected to be sufficient to disperse pollution. Wood burning is banned on New Year's Day.

Tomorrow, October 8 is National Walk and Roll to School Day. Bring your kid on foot or by bike. If you don't have kids, take a walk by your school, join the fun, and make sure drivers are being safe. If you are a driver, just stay away from the schools, okay?

One surprising bit – if you exceed the speed limit by 100 mph, on a San Francisco city street, you only get a fine. Why don’t they impound your car and arrest you?

See Click Fix is an app that cities use to let people report maintenance issues to the public works department. But Berkeley residents have decided it should be used to report "illegal dumping" when a person sleeps on the sidewalk.

Barbara Lee got to spend many years in DC being beloved and legendary, insulated from the rough and tumble of local politics. Now she is mayor of Oakland and will be subject to it like never before. Here's the opening salvo.

Dr. Susan Kegeles, emeritus professor from UCSF, is "not having it" after a counter-protestor zapped a stun gun at her during the #TeslaTakedown protest in Berkeley. Closer inspection of the photo evidence shows who the counter-protester really was.

An outcome of the Climate Equity campaign in 2020 was funding from the City to support the Berkeley E-Bike Equity Project (BEEP!). The program provided 56 e-bikes to low-income residents in 2023, and trained youth interns at Waterside bike shop to maintain them. The results...

I’m reading “Joyride“ by Mia Birk, who helped make Portland Oregon the bike paradise that it is. She cites research that “women are an ‘indicator species’ for bike-friendly cities.” Since they tend to be more risk averse than men “safe infrastructure is a prerequisite for riding.”

When a cyclist is killed on the streets, a white-painted bike — a ghost bike— serves as a memorial and reminder. Is there an equivalent for a pedestrian?
