The AC Transit Board has refused to hold Director Young accountable so let’s make some noise and urge them to censure him. Join me to make public comment at the AC Transit Board meeting tomorrow, Wednesday at 5 pm, 1600 Franklin St, Oakland or on Zoom: actransit.legistar.com/MeetingDetai...

Joel Young has a long record of harassment and misconduct, which too many people have looked the other way on. Let's leave no room for harassers in the East Bay. Oakland and Alameda residents can vote him out November.

Some people think all that we work on at @bikeeastbay.bsky.social are protected bikeways, b/c that's what gets media attention. But we also obsess over the minute details of painted bike lanes, trails, & bike boulevards to get as much as possible out of every project.

Motorists want to demolish SF's 3rd-most popular park and turn it back into a highway in order to save a few minutes. Their ballot argument? Pedestrian safety! Thank you @missionlocal.org for providing data to thoroughly refute.

The Burlingame incident wasn’t “triggered by an 11-year-old riding an e-bike”. The teen driver who was found at fault failed to yield when exiting a parking lot, cut off the ebike rider then sped onto the sidewalk across the street. Your piece doesn’t refer to the driver at all, only the “SUV”.
“Lawmakers introduced the proposal after two children in the county died in separate e-bike accidents, including 4-year-old Ayden Fang. Last year, an SUV struck Fang in Burlingame in a chain-reaction accident triggered by an 11-year-old riding an e-bike.”

What a misleading headline! The bill to "fix" CA-37 is $11 billion, as stated later in the article. $100M is just to widen a portion of a road that is already sinking under the waves. Note you don't need to vote on CA-37. That's because the state will just spend the money. Imagine that for transit!
sfchronicle.com
Bay Area’s Highway 37 could be underwater by 2050. California could spend $100 million on a fix
California officials will weigh whether to invest $100 million in one of the Bay Area’s most ambitious transportation projects: the effort to raise a 21-mile highway before it sinks into the sea.
