Emeryville could be studying Class IV Protected bike lanes from 36th to 47th streets on Adeline if the Sustainable Streetscapes contract is amended next meeting. Amazing how we can add protected bike lanes without much controversy as part of our paving plans.

I’m at the Emeryville bike/walk committee mtg tonight to hear about the Hollis St transit/pedestrian project which includes the slip turn lane conversion at Powell St. The pink line in the photo shows the alignment, so much road space reclaimed!

Last fall, I was tired of hearing that support for bikes came from a narrow minority of Berkeley, so I commissioned a poll to ask how broad support is here. The answer is that the vast majority of the city, 73%—and even a majority of people who do not bike—support adding more bike infrastructure.

Not a lot of action in Berkeley Rent Board data this month. February leases reported (so far) were nominally flat vs. last year. Special acknowledgement to RealPage customers who rent out at $3009, $3544, $2733, etc. You're the heroes keep the statistics honest.

My latest in the Marin IJ, about why Sausalito needs to move out of the 1950s and improve Bridgeway for people walking or biking. The decision will happen on Saturday, March 29th, and will represent a fork in the road for the city at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge. 🧵

A proposed 4 days/week closure of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge trail is going to a final vote March 20 (BikeEastBay.org/RSR for details & sign the petition!) The opposition's biggest talking point is that the trail is causing car congestion, leading to more pollution in Richmond. It's such a lie.

Yesterday a pedestrian was struck by a turning car in the area behind Bevmo off of Shellmound Street and was left in critical condition. This turn is one of many along Shellmound and 40th that will be seeing safety upgrades as part of the 40th Street project. nixle.us/G4CGX

It’s great to hear that Sutter will be moving to Emeryville. Though I’m not so excited about all the new car traffic that will be headed to the 2k-space parking garage on the Horton bike boulevard. Even more mitigation will definitely be needed. www.sfchronicle.com/eastbay/arti...

Emeryville CA is a town with only two pedestrian-hostile, high-speed right turn “slip” lanes. This one at Hollis/Powell is set for removal as construction starts on a roadway project later this month. Any guesses as to where the second one is?

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

I introduced legislation (SB 79) to: 1. Up-zone areas around major public transit stops (rail, bus rapid transit) for denser housing 2. Empower transit agencies to zone/permit projects on their land 3. Streamline (ministerial approval — no CEQA, no discretion) projects on these up-zoned parcels🧵

We are thrilled to announce SB 79, a new bill from @scottwiener.bsky.social that will legalize multi-family housing near transit. We are excited to co-sponsor this landmark legislation with SPUR, @streetsforall.org and the Bay Area Council.

What if we built so much housing near transit that anyone who wanted to live within a 5- or 10-minute walk to a subway/metro station could afford to? That would be cool.

Happy Tuesday, folks! I’m spending my evening at a city council meeting in the Bay Area suburb of Menlo Park (average home value $2,600,000), home of Facebook, where a battle is brewing over an item to convert 3 downtown parking lots (gasp!) into affordable housing. Grab some 🍿, 🧵starts here!

this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

The take I am most certain of that gets me in the most trouble is just "The reason homes are so expensive is because there are not enough of them, so we really really really need to build more of them."

High quality public transit & dense, transit-oriented housing are symbiotic. Great transit allows for sustainable, dense housing. Dense housing provides ridership for transit. Having both means less traffic, lower carbon emissions & less sprawl. That’s why we’re focusing so intensively on both.
