California's Office and Traffic Safety publishes rankings for how cities' traffic collisions compare with other, similarly-sized cities in CA. Berkeley ranks #1-#3 worst in its class (usually #1) for pedestrians and cyclists, every year 2017-2023. We should fix this. www.ots.ca.gov/media-and-re...

My friend is dead. A driver, through neglect, recklessness or malice, has killed Louisa. I’m beside myself with grief and filled with righteous anger at a city that has stalled and slow-walked safety improvements for all road users. Louisa should be here with us.

East Bay people: a friend lost their bike lock key and needs to find someone ASAP who can saw through their lock so someone else doesn’t. Do you know a guy?

paid a visit to plumas national forest this weekend

I feel like I just watched California regress 30 years over the course of a few hours. truly devastating

This directly echos a letter from HJTA to the legislature today, demanding they place a constitutional amendment on the November ballot, for which they would, in return, withdraw their own. All of this as to be concluded today, as the deadline to remove a measure.

radical use of urban space in downtown berkeley

it is a great day to ride bicycles with your dad in the oakland hills

occasionally we build very good things in california

Ive been studying up on this and the big issue is commercial rents are tied to mortgages and commercial spaces are too large to be affordable nowadays. We should encourage commerical space subdivision. Smaller units get leased much much quicker.

Hemry, Local Bartender@bartenderhemry.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I was trying to figure out why some presumably desirable urban commercial properties (specifically retail/service) sit vacant for so long and I found this a very interesting read. If there are any experts out there who can provide a solution or even a different perspective I'd love to hear that

SMART weekly ridership is up TWENTY PERCENT since the MASCOTS change on April 12, aligning bus schedules and increasing service by 19%. And it's only been 5 weeks.

really fascinating stop spacing on Austin’s red line DMU. what’s going on here?

My daughter Robyn would still be alive today if there had been a truely protected bicycle lane. What was the NYPD response to this tragedy? Ticket bicyclists! The box truck diver who killed my daughter? He got some tickets for vehicle issues, nothing for causing the death of Robyn! @mayor.nyc.gov

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

Earlier today, along with Bay Area Families for Safe Streets, we posted this sign at the site of a fatal traffic crash in the Mission District. We are holding the victim's loved ones in our thoughts and are here to provide support. Learn more about Families for Safe Streets at walksf.org/fss.

new urbanism in austin: this is Mueller, on what used to be an airport. needs more shops, but honestly? pretty good and better than other new urbanism I’ve encountered

blue texas is gonna look like this - protected bike lane - rapid bus line - neighborhood traffic calming

We need one of these in every city

F bus stays dreamy

thanks to whoever decided to traffic calm haste st. at telegraph, works great

I think we should “rightsize” the amount of housing near Metrolink stations instead

OCTA CEO says the quiet part out loud: they think Metrolink has *too much* service. If you think that's wrong, contact the OCTA Board before June 8th. www.sbsun.com/2026/05/15/r...
