SF D6 supervisor Matt Dorsey voted for this. He brags about riding bikeshare while taking away bike access for others.

Everyone has a take on the Engardio recall... here's mine. The recall doesn't mean mode shift and car-free spaces are disastrously unpopular, but it does mean urbanists in SF should rethink the strategy of being in coalition with moderates/conservatives.

Engardio recall shows SF's moderate-urbanist coalition is collapsing

Time for something new

For sure there are non-conservatives in D4 but they haven't been winning elections recently. this is also a district that voted to recall Chesa and had the highest vote percentage for Trump. Unclear what the return for activating the most reactionary voters in D4 is

Safe Street Rebel @safestreetrebel.com · Sep 18

That's not what happened here, though — Engardio's best districts in 2025 were Mar districts in 2022. his best districts in 2022, the most conservative ones, voted to recall him this time around. Mar districts were most likely to vote Yes on K. what different conclusion can we draw here?

Safe Street Rebel @safestreetrebel.com · Sep 17

-Initial data indicates the recall —despite getting some prog engagement—was driven by conservative voters who refuse to acknowledge we live in a city and deny our climate emergency.
-More D4 voters voted yes on prop K than yes on recall. This vote was not a referendum on the park.

The recall shows a few things:
-Reactionary politics is inherently unsustainable; the recall-loving, pro-car base that engardio relied on to win in 2022 immediately turned on him the minute he did the only visionary act of his career.

Four years ago, SSR was started to make the great highway permanently car-free. Now, sunset dunes is one of SF's most popular parks. Like the embarcadero and central freeway removals, there may be more fights ahead, but we're not going back.

Hats off to advocates in SF for fighting for transit funding. (And nice shirt.)

While there’s concern Gov. Newsom’s office will table a key transit loan until next year, politicians suggest there’s still hope for the funding measure to find approval before this week’s...

Gov Newsom still hasn't signed the $750m loan to Bay Area transit agencies that would get us to the Nov 2026 funding votes. He has eight days to act.

Please take a moment to call his office at (916) 445-2841 and use the attached script, copied from a @transbaycoalition.bsky.social.

Hi my name is (your name), I live in (your town), and I was so relieved in July when I heard that the state budget would include a $750 million emergency loan to BART, Muni, AC Transit, and Caltrain to stop massive service cuts, before funding starts to flow from a regional funding measure) . These transit agencies provide essential service to our communities and I depend on them to get where I need to go.

However, I’m very concerned that with just eight days left to issue the loan, the Governor hasn’t followed through on his promise to protect our communities from these devastating cuts. I’m calling to urge him to make good on his promise and issue that loan ASAP to these transit agencies and stop these terrible cuts. Thank you.

Lurie allowing Waymo/Uber onto Market while cutting Muni service for 240,000 daily riders is despicable, and keeps anyone without tons of wealth out of downtown.

We will not let the Mayor and his corporate buddies create an SF for the wealthy only.

Sign the petition.
Direct action coming soon.

At least four bicycles and one moped are chained up and seemingly abandoned outside the federal courthouse. They are symbols of America's war on immigrants.

Astonishing to hear several BCDC commissioners state that:

Ending 24/7 bike/walk access to Richmond San Rafael Bridge curtails maximum public access to the Bay,

AND that such a move is unprecedented,

BUT they still plan to curtail access.

Why? The purpose of BCDC is to protect & expand access.
