During the 27th St project development period Steve Bloom was killed by a driver, while biking at Broadway & 27th St. More recently this month, a senior cyclist biking with their groceries was also hit and injured by a driver at the same location. Delays = more risk.

Thank you to all the volunteers from @bikejc.bsky.social for today’s memorial and freshening up the bike ghost memorials around town. We lost a child to traffic violence this year, and nothing was done about it and nothing has changed since. #WDoR2025

If cars were any other consumer product, they would have built in speed limits to ensure safe operation. I can’t accidentally set my thermostat to 500F and burn down my house. So why can cars drive 75mph on city streets?
If cars were any other consumer product, they would be banned..
We don’t have to live this way. Too many of us know the grief—not just death from traffic violence, but long term, life changing injury and trauma. What kind of society could we have without it?

A man riding his bike was just killed in the heart of the Berkeley student district on Telegraph Ave at Haste. This one hits really close to home, not only because it’s my neighborhood but because we as students have been demanding the removal of cars from Telegraph for years.
Rest in peace.

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.

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.
