There's a renewed push to restore parking on Convoy St.
If you have a second please email:
Council President Pro Tem Kent Lee
KentLee@sandiego.gov
And tell him to implement parking protected bike lanes. There is more than enough room for both on Convoy.

Seattle needs immediate rapid response to vision zero. When someone is killed or seriously injured in a traffic collision, a rapid semi-permanent remediation must be installed/deployed at the site to make sure it never happens again. Paint and signal re-timing is not sufficient.

Spot-on advice for city leaders:
“The federal government in this administration will do the right thing only by accident,” Blumenauer said. “And you can’t count on them.” “We control the land use. We price the curb. We can establish a policy framework that skips over the federal government.”

In emotional speech, Earl Blumenauer urges city planners to go it alone
"We control the land use. We price the curb," said the former U.S. Congressman.

The anti-cycleways talking points and spittle-flecked Facebook rants are putting cyclists at risk from aggressive car drivers. They get so angry and feel entitled to take revenge, cutting bike riders off at roundabouts, parking in bike lanes, close passing, yelling "get off the road". It's bullying.

I often think about how so many cities are AGONIZING over the idea of turning a single street, or even a block, into a people-place and pedestrian stroll, while thriving communities like Gràcia in Barcelona are filled with networks of pedestrian streets and squares with no cars, or “tamed” cars.

Extraordinarily wack that these tech zillionaires are not funding modern Carnegie Libraries all over the Bay Area.
Every museum, school, hospital, and library within 100 miles of the intersection of Sand Hill Road and El Camino Real should have a brand new wing named for one of these dudes.

Signs installed! I appreciate the tow scare icon.
My confidence residents won’t continue to use it as their private parking lane: next to none.
But maybe it will help Federal Way PD not argue with me that cars can’t park on pedestrian paths.

Melrose was supposed to undergo a complete streets makeover from Highland to Fairfax that would have installed stormwater gardens to mitigate flooding, among other critical safety improvements. The previous councilmember killed the project

"California showing up for the climate"
Then what are you doing about SF's and SD's public transit agencies approaching budget deficits?
Why did CARB cancel the ebike rebate program?
Why is the California Coastal Commission blocking the installation of bike lanes?
Why is Caltrans still expanding climate destroying freeways?

Then fund transit and active transportation across the state instead of continuing to expand freeways.
Otherwise this is just performative.

I live in San Diego, everything that has been “disruptive” about immigration in the last several years is a direct result of the government trying to make immigrants confused, hungry, and miserable. It has nothing to do with the immigrants themselves.

Meanwhile in California they won't even set up a temporary bike lane out of cones, instead just forcing us into highway traffic.
