From my colleague Dani whose Richmond to San Rafael shuttle ride was 6:20am-6:50am:
"About 12 of the 30 minutes were just getting through the loop in the picture. It was also pretty slow until past the toll booths. Ironically it started moving faster past that, almost exactly where the trail starts"

"the westbound shuttle is stuck in a long queue of car"

Let that sink in.

Real time tracking for the shuttle locations is also available here:

Currently the westbound shuttle is stuck in a long queue of car congestion waiting to access the bridge. No bike/walk trail to blame this time.

Not sure. Was surprised to learn that the commercial properties that I think UC owns and rents out to make money in Albany are not paying any property taxes.

For example --
66-2686-20
66-2692-7
66-2692-4

“Mohammed’s case has received widespread attention over the past week, largely due to his status as an American citizen, but also because of a tireless campaign led by his family.“

One time I was trying to move a huge tv set out of the Milvia bike lane. I couldn't pick it up. Someone stopped and helped me get it on the curb. Must have weighed like 120lbs.

Worst use of the passive voice "school administration received an alert"

Admin bought an AI system that sent an alert and the cops come with guns out. Admin needs to own their decision to have an SRO and AI. Those decisions created all the danger here.

Worst thing is 580 bus runs only once per hour, and has very limited bicycle capacity.

Still 3 bikes max I think. So you can arrive on time, but have too many bikes waiting and then not be able to get on.

Apparently, CHP never has more than 10 officers deployed in Oakland per week. If you add those 10 to number of officers OPD has currently, it's no more than 650 or so, still the lowest number of officers Oakland has had in years. # officers have not been key to reducing crime

Unfond memories of my last Albany, CA landlord's use of electrical tape on the electric stove burner wiring.

It lasted 2 meals before it shorted out while I was cooking dinner with a huge spark and pop, and blew the circuit breaker

2930 Shattuck is a testament to Berkeley's addiction to parking and cars. It has 2 parking lanes, 3 driving lanes and zero bike lanes.

Make it 5 more blocks and Oakland loves you. At Shattuck and Alcatraz, the bike lane guides you through the intersection.

Berkeley, no bike lanes 5 car lanes at 2930 Shattuck

The intersection of Shattuck and Alcatraz in Oakalnd, with bike lanes on both sides and a left turn lane.

Shattuck and Alcatraz in Oakland, showing the bike box, and the bike lanes on both sides that are continuous through the intersection, unlike Berkeley, which prioritized parking over safety.

Pretty sure the crawler there tearing down the white house is imported, either from South Korea or Sweden. AFAIK, Volvo doens't make those in the USA.
