This is a classic failure of North American planning: the idea that a committee of Concerned Merchants and Residents with little to no expertise can sit down and come up with a real solution that isn’t just a rehashing of vibes and narratives of the way the feel things should be.

This plan is politically viable and passable by the public. It seeks to accommodate all who use public right of way including pedestrians, cyclists, transit and even cars. This can set an appetite for future investment that may include rail down the line. governing.com/transportation…

There is an update from Supervisor Myrna Melgar on the SFMTA's proposed safety improvements near West Portal station. First, a committee was formed called the Welcoming West Portal Committee that will consist of merchants, neighbors and community members. 🧵
The Town FC Offices. Do we think Benno got Fishshit to drop by his little shack? #KnowYourRoots
It’s really insane how SF keeps making up ad-hoc governing methods by the seat of its pants like this It’s as if we’re dealing with something totally unprecedented, like an alien invasion or discovery of a new natural resource - not traffic engineering solutions that WE KNOW OF

"264 East is a parking lot starting from Dixie. Avoid at all costs." I love the FREEDOM our devotion to cars and highways has brought.
“The driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.” This is part of way too many of our accident reports in KC, which are sadly rising. Please convince those you know and love to wear their seat belts.
Want to make LA safer for pedestrians? For drivers? Install bike lanes.
"Despite bicycling being considered ten times more dangerous than driving, the evidence suggests that high-bicycling-mode-share cities are not only safer for bicyclists but for all road users."
This is exactly what SF needs to help w/ our recovery. Kudos to @LondonBreed for getting it in terms of how we activate our streets. I’m authoring state legislation (SB 969) to authorize SF, other cities to create entertainment zones w/ more flexibility to serve alcohol outdoors.
I wish we had a single jersey barrier protected bike lane in Los Angeles.
Hey, Manhattan cyclists! Join us to discuss a proposal to install a jersey barrier protected bike lane in the 1st Ave Tunnel between E 40th St to E 48th St. When: 5/6, 7PM Where: @cbsix Transportation Committee Virtual Meeting. Register in advance: bit.ly/3QiEmXU

The "Welcoming West Portal Committee" has a ring to it, like I am in an old western and the Local Citizens Committee to Keep out Undesirables has just shown up to escort me out for having thoughts that run counter to the common good. A deeply disappointing walk-back by Melgar.
I am genuinely curious how many people on the CA HSRA leadership actually take trains on a regular basis or even like them. The goal seems to be to spend as much time and money as possible rather than, you know, build a working train. For a 2 hour ride, a couple options is fine.
As we move closer to buying trainsets, we're considering multiple seating options for high-speed rail passenger service. Here's a look at a few preliminary seating designs, in order: 💺 Premium 💺 Cocoon 💺 Compartment 💺 Comfort #FactFriday #BuildHSR
I’m working on getting more information, but disappointed and frustrated to see Supervisor Melgar allowing opponents of the proposed improvements to delay action and implementation. Creating committees and demanding data/studies is a classic delay tactic. This is not leadership.
