Regular reminder that we install signal poles and light posts with breakaway bolts *with the explicit purpose* of allowing cars to cleanly drive through them.
This results in the regular wiping of pedestrian off sidewalks, who might imagine that they are protected by nearby infrastructure.

The Times parsed the vote using similar categories and again found that the single most determinative factor economic-like factor in the election was "commute by transit" vs "commute by car." It edged out renters vs. homeowners. There's still outstanding data but I expect these trends will hold.

The grade separation will:
🤝Serve as a new through roadway improving east-west mobility for the community
🚑Reduce emergency response times

It seems bad that only $668 million of California's $31 billion transportation budget is for public transit capital projects next year.
HSR gets another $798 million.
$1.45 billion out of $31 billion. It's a hidden form of climate arson.

Caltrans' messaging of its bike/ped work continues to border on mendacious.
This *Caltrans* press release says that they are spending $97M on a pedestrian overcrossing in SF.
That would be an insane price!
But in reality, the $97M is for a ped over-xing *and* 7.5 miles of I-280 pavement rehab!
