America’s plan to protect pedestrians failed. A young woman’s death reveals why.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

DDOT continues to publish before/after analyses of safety projects. The numbers for the 9th street NW bike lanes suggest that we should be doing these projects everywhere we can. Crashes plummeted, pedestrian and bike traffic skyrocketed, and vehicle travel times dropped.

Tragic result of a 5-lane road with multi-family residential, bus route, sharrows, 35 mph posted speed limit. This is one of the few non-conventional segments of the State Highway System owned / operated by Caltrans all of which are in Escondido, Coronado, or unincorporated County.

Fantastic multi-use path crossing. I love the cross/bike walk markings and passive actuation of the RRFB lights with infrared at the curb.
I’ve never been so excited to see fencing!
Construction is beginning on El Cerrito Plaza BART TOD, replacing parking with 743 homes and hopefully a new library.
The first building will be 100% affordable with 70 homes.
I’ve been working on this project for nearly a decade and couldn’t be happier.

Most of the administrative stuff that DOGE did is still happening. They’re not gonna suddenly not dissolve Education. I still can’t travel without sixteen layers of review. They’re still plowing out rulemakings to reshape the civil service.
