Piedmont Avenue is booming, on a beautiful fall evening. People are out and enjoying themselves. It desperately needs the city of #Oakland to widen the sidewalks and give it a road diet.

Last night Berkeley City Council approved the staff recommendation for a wide parking-protected bikeway & bus boarding islands on Telegraph Ave, Woolsey to Dwight! The plan includes bus lanes around Ashby to address the primary transit delays.

My Subway Builder proposal for a 6-car intra-East Bay BART automated metro line (or AC Transit Metro). A San Pablo Ave and MacArthur/580 line. I built the normal BART line from 19th Street to Civic Center into SF so i expect many transfers.

Fully grade separated trains via rock trenches in the East Bay's vast streets built for these old trains like this one in North Berkeley, coupled with signal priority or full metro-like grade separation, would be much more popular, and citizens would tax themselves for it.

We know physical interventions will prevent deadly collisions because we've seen those interventions already work wonders
It is so very crucial that we install those safety projects without delay, especially on high injury streets where we know fatalities will happen again
