We have hundreds of California four-lane roads to upgrade to meet our mode shift goals.
1) Why does a local agency like ACTC have to lead design for these projects, when that'll mean it's always their first time?
2) Why are we making them design concrete mixes and traffic circles from scratch?

Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.
Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

Oakland, unlike peer cities in the region, does not appear to have a written procurement conflict of interest policy. That makes it much harder for the City Admin and City Attorney to police influence peddling and corruption for public works when firms inappropriately lobby staff and Councilmembers.

Transit Signal Priority is an umbrella term for multiple strategies that reduce delays for transit vehicles at signalized intersections, potentially down to zero.
Here, I'm comparing the trade-offs between a "French-style" and an "in-phase" TSP strategy, more common in North America.

“The new timetable assumes each bus will spend nearly 45% of its runtime idling at BART (or about 6.2 hours of a 14 hour shift).
It is hard to escape the conclusion that the timetable is being designed around the limitations of the aging [BEB] capacity.”

New city fees, fire safety policies threaten future of 2 beloved Berkeley events, organizers say

I couldn’t interest anybody in NYC in the details of our $1+ billion effort, but you guys have some really top-notch gadflies in Oakland, so it is worth looking into the mechanics of how corners are being chosen, how much it will balloon, whether it’s all truly necessary, and what could be changed
