Thanks to everyone who supported safe biking along Hopkins! The plan passed 7-2! While we wait for more official records, the below is a good summary of the key motions and votes.
Infrastructure Weak@infrastructureweak.bsky.social · last wk.Berkeley City Council decision on Hopkins bikeway referral to staff: - CM Kesarwani-drafted item passes 7-2: buffered lanes Sutter to The Alameda, bikeways to Peralta, speed cushions to Stannage. Additional minor amendments made in-meeting.
In case you need a reminder, tomorrow’s Council meeting is CRITICAL and safe biking will need a lot of support - ideally in person!
Berkeleyside@berkeleyside.org · last wk.Berkeley leaders will decide on an updated plan to build the long-debated bike lanes, at the expense of more than 100 parking spaces.
Hi neighbors - there’s a really important item on the Council agenda on Tuesday - safe redesign of Hopkins including two-way protected bike lanes!
From our friends at South Berkeley Now - two Ashby BART meetings coming up - virtual today July 22 5:30 pm, and then Saturday in person!
Our allies at South Berkeley Now let us know about an Open House for Ashby BART on Thursday!
Our next Saturday In The Park social is coming up in 12 days! Look for the bikes!
Not Berkeley but still sharing!

It’s not technically Berkeley but it’s right over the border… the good folks at East Bay YIMBY have put together a mailer to support the proposed senior housing on Claremont near College!
Support homes for seniors at 6230 Claremont Ave in Rockridge
The senior housing proposal at 6230 Claremont Avenue in Rockridge needs our help! The project has already made a number of concessions and shrunk in size as a result of a well-organized group of anti-...

Another North Berkeley middle housing project has dropped. Being pitched as single family homes even though its more like rowhouses. On the old gas station
If you want a yard sign, go to Headlands Berkeley Sunday midday! You’ll get to meet the incredibly cool @libbington.bsky.social and other great people!
🦫 Libby Lee-Egan 🦫@libbington.bsky.social · 2mo agoLast week I had a chat with an out-of-towner who said "I've never been somewhere with so many yard signs about local issues. The only signs I see in Florida say 'for sale'!" So anyway, want another yard sign? I'll be at Headlands Berkeley from 11am-2pm handing these out on Sunday, June 14. See ya!

If you go to the Planning Commission meeting RIGHT NOW you might get to see this: a fur-coat wearing lobbyist for a major developer arguing against making it easier for people to build housing! Because who wants competition?
Berkeley Neighbors for Housing and Climate Action@bnhca.bsky.social · 5mo agoAnd the guy with the fur coat read a letter from Patrick Kennedy, basically opposed to the commercial district zoning. Which is some sort of Berkeley madlib.
There’s another important Berkeley meeting tomorrow! Support housing in high-income areas!
Starting now! It’s not too late to sign up and join!
