This is an absolutely typical intersection for a pedestrian fatality, and where two people have been killed in a year.
-5 lane arterial
-No marked crosswalk or crossing signal
-No median refuge
-Long distances to signalized crosswalks (600' to E, 850't to W)
-Critically, bus stops on both sides

Same played out in avocados. A 10,000 seedling University of California breeding program led to the Lamb-Hass, GEM, and Luna UCR varieties... good varieties, but not household names. Program started in the late '80's, Luna released in 2023. This was considered a successful program.
Bonus: a lil talk about how much work it is to breed new fruit trees like apples.
Why? Mostly because about 1 in 10,000 seedlings will grow up to make fruit that's.... like... enjoyable to eat.

We should copy the Dutch law that always makes car drivers responsible when they hit a cyclist. Not only would it reduce the number of accidents, it would speed up court cases.

I wrote about public transit demand, vehicular homicide, dangerous roads and the lack of urgency around responding to any of them. It's also a story about a pedestrian who died in a crash—Drew Pringle, 21—and the staggering grief borne by his sister Erika. www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...
She says her brother was murdered. In California, the crash was an ‘accident’
4,000 Californians die in car crashes each year, usually in preventable collisions. Why?

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

I'm a longtime fan of Not Just Bikes, but his 95(!) minute video on John Forester and Vehicular Cycling is truly his magnum opus.
If you are even remotely interested in the history of bicycling in America, it is worth a watch.
