It's disappointing that the CA’s e-bike voucher program is getting cut with the funds being diverted to EVs
Data from the Denver program says e-bikes = huge value:
• 40% cheaper/mile than EVs, ~75% cheaper than ICE cars
• Operational emissions ~3% of EVs; ~1% of ICE cars

California Quietly Kills Electric Bike Vouchers, Sending Money to EV Incentives Instead | KQED
The California Air Resources Board gave no public announcement but confirmed that it has redirected the e-bike program’s funds as “a recent outcome of legislative direction.”

Do both! Pedestrians can have a narrowed crosswalk AND an overpass. Cross safely to your hearts content.
We're discussing the possibility of a pedestrian overpass, and why the developers aren't proposing one.
Their response is that overpasses often go unused and encourage drivers at grade level to speed up, so instead they're proposing shortening the crosswalk and lengthening the crossing time.

Climate protest today in San Mateo's Central Park headlined by a CA state senator & state assemblywoman who both elected to not vote for SB 79 and voted for AB 697. Why stand for highways & low density in existing cities--where do you think development happens? NIMBY environmentalists are toxic

This map of current San Mateo parking districts is a perfect example of the difference between "Peninsula North" and actual North.

You have to laugh: the scope of this "micromobility hub project" is re-poured curb cuts at a couple of crosswalks & some painted bicycle logos in the street. Total cost $350k. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am--how's that for "micromobility"?! 😂

More walking and biking help move the needle but progress is so sloooow it can just be maddening. We have the perfect weather almost year-round!

Some highlight from the plan for 19th/Fashion Island. Protected intersections, slip lanes removed, car traffic mitigations (more queueing space/optimizing travel lane direction)
Tough tradeoffs but overall an exciting initial design!
