Minneapolis and Saint Paul are finally launching this BRT line that was already in the planning phase when I last visited in ... 2019.
Good, but if it's gonna take that long, maybe agencies should just incrementally upgrade the buses that exist instead of these big fancy unicorn "BRT" projects?

SFMTA is adding left turns back to Valencia at 17th, 21st and 23rd streets with a new phase, which will cut down on time for pedestrian and bike crossings. The word is that Mayor Lurie directly ordered this. Signal modifications are very expensive and that money could have gone to safety or transit priority.
Seems small, but it's wasteful and adds to the "death by a thousand cuts" for Transit First in Lurie's SF.

Streetsblog SF often errs on the latter side... I'm happier than ever with #ValenciaStreet, but their critiques are not wrong.

In Jason Henderson's 2013 book Street Fight he writes of SF transportation politics as a function of 3 factions: conservatives, neoliberals, progressives. How the street fights go depends on how those factions align. If you slot in YIMBYish urbanist types—those who are pro-bike, pro-business, believe that Dean Preston was blocking housing—as the neoliberals, this holds up surprisingly well today.

The proposed transit sales tax is “‘problematic for two reasons; one, it does not fully fund the operational shortfall. It’s also a politically vulnerable ballot measure,’ said Ryan Williams, the campaign director for Bay Area Forward, founded this year by local transit unions.”

This seems bad. We just learned in the past week via @… that ICE agents are searching Flock cameras nationwide, and so did a Texas cop trying to track down a woman who got an out-of-state abortion. Now, without any guardrails against that, a crypto billionaire wants $9m more of these cameras in SF.
There's an ordinance to accept the gift that will…

Looks like it wouldn’t be too hard for ICE to tap the Flock cameras increasingly deployed around SF, if they aren’t already, by asking either SFPD or other PDs it shares access with to do the searches for them

"as dense urban neighborhoods grow more costly, lower- and moderate-income renters, the very people most likely to ride the bus, are pushed out and replaced by a more affluent set who, on the whole, tend to favor getting around by car."
This finding should temper expectations that building lots of market-rate, i.e., expensive, housing will automagically bring about some kind of transit renaissance.

highly recommend Nixta Foods, a plant-based pop-up at Radio Habana Sat/Sun 12-7pm. my omnivore friends said it was the best vegan food they remember having in some time. we shared everything on the menu: various pupusas; hibiscus tacos; nachos; and glazed plantains for a dessert.

"The big problem is 'bottlenecks' that make it harder to produce housing, expand energy production, or build new roads and bridges."
vs.
"The big problem is that big corporations have way too much power over our economy and our government."
By 12pts all voters and by 42pts Dem voters prefer the second statement. They're right!
