As a government affairs staffer at a local county agency who pitches bill concepts to state legislators, it's absurd how often we (non-lawyers/legislators) get asked to draft ACTUAL BILL language. I wouldn't be surprised if HRSA has draft language waiting in the wings

A driver killed a pedestrian at an intersection where safety upgrades have been stalled for years. Guess who likely contributed to these delays because more “outreach and conversations with stakeholders” is needed- none other than @conniechansf.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/r...

A year ago the Bay Area Council was spending a lot of money on social media posts & ads lying to people w claims that traffic congestion on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge was the top source of air pollution in Richmond & that the bike/walk trail was to blame. www.baaqmd.gov/en/News-and-...

“Air District releases preliminary health risk assessment for Chevron Refinery in Richmond
Date
Tuesday, August 25, 2026

The Air District today released a preliminary health risk assessment(5 Mb PDF, 410 pgs) from air pollution for the Chevron Refinery in Richmond. It found the estimated cancer and short-term health risks from air emissions for people living near the refinery were above the allowed levels, which requires Chevron to implement a plan to reduce health risk. The public comment period closes on Monday, November 23 at 5 p.m”

What's frustrating about the response to the Cicero Institute is that prominent Housing First defenders are often uninterested in land use policy, so they can't explain the real reason why HF hasn't produced results at scale in California. Which leaves a vacuum for creeps like Lonsdale to fill.

Thanks to the work of stalwart local advocates, Oakland DOT is proposing an extension of the Grand Ave protected bikeway thru the Grand Lake District! Read about this, more bikeway updates & upcoming group rides in @bikeeastbay.bsky.social's #LakeMerrittLoop update: bikeeastbay.org/lake-merritt...

"Grand Ave Complete Streets Paving Project CITY OF OAKLAND The City of Oakland Department of Transportation has reached the 65% Design Milestone for the Grand Avenue Complete Streets Paving Project, with an updated layout for the Grand Lake District that includes physically separated bike lanes, keeps angled parking on both sides of the street, and creates a slow and flexible street layout in this commercial area. Grand Ave & Santa Clara Ave New pedestrian safety islands Physically-separated bike lanes New Loading Zones Angled parking on both sides of Grand Ave (same as today) Santa Clara/Lake Park Intersection This hub of pedestrian activity is home to a weekly Farmers' Market, the Grand Lake Theater, AIMS College Prep High, and a busy on/off-ramp to the 580 freeway. This street design adds pedestrian safety islands at all four crosswalks and a bus boarding island on Grand Ave to shorten pedestrian crossing distances and slow traffic. It reduces Grand Ave to one lane northbound and adds physically-separated bike lanes to the cor-ridor, with floating front-in angled parking. Loading/Flexible Space In response to community concerns about double parking, curbside loading, and food pickup, this design adds new loading zones on Grand Avenue. It also creates a two-way turn lane in the center of Grand Ave for flexibility. Contact Charlie Ream cream@oaklandca.gov oaklandca.gov/grandave"
