It's so awkward looking. Tinting the glass blue and having the half face and smile as glassy layers on top seems like the obviously correct answer... not sure what they're thinking here.

It’s fantastic—quality of life and supports families. We need more plazas and squares in our neighborhoods in SF!

Such a no-brainer.

Haha yes!! Bad choice of words 😅
My concern is only that her scope may be too small to rise to this critical occasion. But I certainly hope those fears are proven wrong. Few people know Muni like she does.

She’s a good choice. I do have some lingering concerns about bolder policy decisions that are needed right now; let’s hope she pulls out all the stops to take Muni to thriving.

5,000 rides in 2 months is 83 riders per day? Even lowest performing community service routes like the 37 carry 1,000 riders per DAY. This feels like a different definition of “popularity”?

It was sent to the NTSB not the FAA. The US has independent bodies to prevent political prejudices that the FAA might have, precisely for reasons like this. Many countries do not make that distinction which is why it’s much harder to trust the outcomes of analyses. The NTSB’s record is pretty solid.

It has:
1. Increased transit ridership
2. Improved equity
3. Substantially reduced financial burden for low income residents
4. Increased popular support for transit, helping increase capital investment
5. Moderately improved pollution & cars in CBD

Given the weird regulations around RPP pricing, I think we could still address it with something like this—where RPP is only available as an add-on to a base transportation package: bsky.app/profile/next...
As an aside, I still really think a “package” model for parking would be useful for funding, ridership; and modeshare—ie., residential parking is available only as an add-on to a base mobility package, which includes transit.

Totally… (It’s also wild to me that it would be not legal??)

This doesn’t seem terribly rapid in the video…? appreciate the accessibility angle though. (And Curitiba for caring!)

I think that’s a pretty reasonable hypothesis. SFMTA is far more political than it should be in that sense—and the city should be making and owning these decisions alongside.

Shockingly? No! Montreal and Vancouver have the best North American examples that I’m aware of…

I think the benefits of the L project, while good, don’t feel commensurate with the amount of time it took & disruption caused. Outside of comms issues, these generational projects have far too limited a scope & reflect a major issue of modern-day government/infra: slow with limited benefit.

Bingo. SFMTA shoots themselves in the foot far too often as well. I don’t know if it’s a comms issue or a city hall / interagency issue, but it’s definitely something that should be addressed.

This isn’t universally applicable, but it’s important for SFMTA to prioritize projects that lead to greatest benefit for all in order to shift perceptions and change the narrative. Drawn-out projects that accomplish only a single goal at the cost of others inherently invite criticism & frustration..

That quieted the anger pretty quickly and other businesses began clamoring for the same treatment. Instead of debating geometries of bike lanes, pitting transportation means against each other, they showcased the potential of real placemaking which led to a thriving outcome.

Take Montreal and their pedestrianized streets. There was quite a bit of anger and frustration by neighbors & biz owners beforehand in community meetings. A familiar scene.
But the city went all in. They didn’t half ass anything: they pulled out all the stops—and it worked. Business thrived.

I don’t love the framing of this issue, and I while I don’t blame SMFTA for this, I do think the way in which projects get watered down or overly detail focused — missing forest for the trees — (unintentionally?) invites a certain level of vitriol, unfortunately.
