the High Speed Rail board game based on The Map is back in print! thegamecrafter.com/games/us-high-… 🚄🐦 Printed in the USA by @thegamecrafter To view the game rules / printable PDF, see californiarailmap.com/hsrgame
Finally watching Shang-Chi, here as a bus operator to rate the SFT transit factors of The Bus Scene:
I dont understand why lefties who hate on urbanist car hating dont have the same energy towards market rate gas and cars as they do market rate housing. The working class overwhelmingly uses both. Reject trickle down economics and require 100% affordable for oil and car producers
85 years ago, the Bay Bridge opened to the public.
I wish more Americans learned about—or better yet, experienced firsthand—great street design. We don’t teach it in schools, and most Americans never travel to cities with great street design. I didn’t understand it until I visited a few cities outside the US.
Transit board members should all ride transit. It seems impossible to fully understand a system and what needs to be improved without riding. Great to see VTA board member @RaulPeralez riding, and I'm glad that most current BART directors are regular riders.

Excellent recommendations being presented by @sfplanning staff next week: 🏡Rezone all single-family-only areas for duplexes 🏠Allow 4 units everywhere, with tenant protections 🏘️6 units on corner lots 💰Tax monster homes 💵Fund low-income / BIPOC homebuyer support programs
Thanks @walksf and all the folks who came out to support #CarFreeJFK this morning! 🎉 What a perfect day to enjoy a relaxing stroll through GGP with friends 💚
Amazing turnout at the #GreatHauntway today! We were here with @sfbike giving out candy and bike lights. We ran out in an hour because the Great Hauntway was so popular!
It's been 16 months since the @SFMTA_Muni board approved bus-only lanes on Masonic and they still haven't been built. Meanwhile, the 43 gets stuck in bumper to bumper traffic every day, leading to huge delays. When will we finally get bus lanes on Masonic?
Thrilled that BART Board unanimously approved my motion for 250 parking spaces MAXIMUM at El Cerrito Plaza BART, from current 740 spaces, prioritizing housing over parking. Less parking means ~800 units will be built at the station, with 35% affordable and 12% moderate income.
Caltrain board supports engagement with regional governance greencaltrain.com/2021/10/caltra…
In May I introduced a BART Board item calling for staff to develop cost estimates to reopen all underground restrooms, a first step to reopening. They did more, and this Thursday at BART Board they will share a plan to REOPEN ALL CLOSED RESTROOMS. 👏👏👏 Details in this thread:
do you like to mountain bike and hate golf courses? i want to turn gleneagles golf course into a multi-use mountain bike and active sports park. going to take stroll through gleneagles (rain or shine) at 2 pm today to scope out the grounds and get a feel for the landscape.
Reading through MTC workshop materials for Wednesday/Thursday. Transit priority is one area of focus - SFMTA is leader, VTA is laggard
I would enjoy weekends more if my public transportation didnt literally disappear for 48 hours.
Weather calls for cycling tornadoes. #totalsf #missioncrit
I biked along most of the the 51A/51B route today. Only saw one bus going my direction. I of course passed it and put about a mile between us before turning. Anyways, this is why many folks don’t ride the bus.
Observations after watching 20 cars go by: – 50% of cars slowed down. – A decent number of SUVs slowed, too! – The only self-driving car that passed by did not slow down.
