OPINION: "I lost my job at Caltrans for speaking out against a freeway widening. The rot in our transit planning runs deep," writes Jeanie Ward-Waller, a licensed professional engineer. trib.al/bLT0vG4
This is extremely concerning, 1st because it involves accusations of illegal employee retaliation, & 2nd because of the possibility of Caltrans trying to circumvent state policies around funding. It also calls into question Caltrans’ commitment to our climate & equity goals.

Bingo! The loud retirees who show up to 9am Planning Commission meeting aren’t representative of the community.
The city should show up at apartment rental viewings to get an idea of what the silently suffering have to deal with.
In the 1980s, Caltrans used eminent domain to seize and demolish more than 9 blocks of property in City Heights, Normal Heights and Kensington. It evicted ≈2,000 residents (many of them low-income) so it could build the SR-15 freeway.
All this land used to be a neighborhood.

Many Mission Hills homes in SD had racial covenants that often read like this:
“no part of the premises hereby conveyed shall be conveyed, transferred or demised to any person other than the White or Caucasian race.”
Opposition to SB 10 has similar exclusionary vibes.
Unwittingly, I became knowledgeable/effective at getting @CityofSanDiego to install much needed #TrafficCalming on our street. Since then, many have reached out asking how (huge need, obvi). Here was my process. I'm always avail via DM, too.

I’m in the Bay Area suburb of Santa Clara tonight supporting an interim housing project for 30 unhoused families. Debate and opposition are fierce.
We’re on hour 10, over two council meetings, with 12+ more hours in 4 community meetings.
How does this process make any sense?
This afternoon our Planning team partnered with @WalknRollSD and were joined by community members to identify gaps in transit, pedestrian and bike infrastructure along El Cajon Blvd. Walk audits like this are crucial to improving safety for everyone using our streets. #VisionZero
