Caltrain’s upgraded to Clipper 2.0. It is a mystery whether I got my transfer discount, however (it’s not even telling me how much is on my card)

Caltrain live tweeting (or whatever the Bluesky equivalent is) their own board meeting. More agencies should do this!

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

New post: a week of hectic back and forth with fire officials and city council over Berkeley street festivals brings out into the open a conflict in city halls across USA. Fire depts opposition to traffic calming and safety measures. Is there a solution?

The Fire Department vs. Traffic Safety Advocates
Street safety advocates are butting heads with fire officials. Swift fire response does not have to come at the cost of lives on the roadway.

This Thanksgiving we're thankful for:
- the staggering success of Caltrain electrification
- CA's continued funding commitment to high-speed rail
- Cancellation of the ONT Connector Tesla tunnels creating space for better transit projects in the Rancho/Ontario area.

Last year Piedmont was working on a pedestrian crossing upgrade at Grand/Linda. I was able to get involved & work with staff to upgrade it w bike left turn features as well, including a curbside waiting space & flashing beacon push button oriented to the street.

Wow. While we wait for the few remaining ballots to be counted, we feel like we have won this race. The recent drop put us nearly 1,400 votes ahead, just under the .5 percent threshold for a mandatory recount.

At a meeting about whether we're going to build housing for young families like us. An elderly NIMBY got mad at @alanakinrich.medsky.social for 'being distracting' by breastfeeding our baby in the reserved seats in the front. In case you're wondering who they think should be part of this process.

Watching the red line BART train I was on earlier pull into Millbrae from Caltrain. If I hadn’t transferred between Embarcadero and 4th and King by bike, I wouldn’t have made the train I’m on and my trip would have been 15 minutes longer. Not great
