Do you think the main issues were design flaws in not separating the bus lane with permanent barriers (like Van Ness BRT in SF)? The article makes it seem like the report is focused on failures with community outreach…unclear if that would have fixed the unsafe design problems.

I was mostly commenting on the article, haven’t read the report - seems like a big oversight not to mention Covid behavior changes at all.

Very odd there’s no mention of the other big thing that happened in spring 2020 just before BRT opened that caused traffic fatalities and collisions to increase almost everywhere bc streets were suddenly empty and extreme speeding became common 😬

Never understood why it was exempted from our current upzoning process when it is high resource and added almost no housing in the last 20 years....anyone know?

Instead of a more regressive sales tax, which does little to disincentivize driving, the visitor paid parking seems like an easy win. Odd that it’s only seen as a longer term option (post 2029).

And yet congestion is nearly back to 2019 levels while transit ridership is not. Really frustrating that it costs more to take the bus (benefitting many) than park a private vehicle on most of our public streets (benefitting one). what did they propose as an alternative? More cuts?

Is this not something that one of our legislators like @scottwiener.bsky.social or @matthaneysf.bsky.social can tackle?? Really unfortunate that we have such low standards for getting and keeping a license in CA. :(
