Sutter Street

Snow is seen at Mt. Diablo. Big, wet flakes are falling, mixed with rain. Road is closed about 2 miles down from visitor center.

I don't allow any electronics in my classrooms and have never had a student object. They *want* to be present

HUGE news on dangerous-driving reforms in the California Legislature, a product of the incredible reporting from @calmatters.org reporters Robert Lewis and Lauren Helper calmatters.org/investigatio...

Gorgeous map from the Times on this week's snow in the West:

New York City is in a fascinating and frustrating position in that it is the most transparent in terms of data on speed-camera violations but also one of the most lenient in terms of the associated penalties for that speeding.

The way our criminal justice system handles deadly drivers is egregiously broken:

There's no legal/rationale reason for this pause. It's purely extortion: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/n...

Re-paved Folsom bike lane and bus-boarding island coming into focus

San Francisco is beautiful

the thing is the Gateway funding is just not something that can be negotiated on. it's our money. it's appropriated. attempting to trade it for something after it's been appropriated is merely acknowledging that the grounds for freezing it are wholly fictitious. in a sane world, it's impeachable.

The prolonged warm spell in SF has meant that many trees - including magnolias - are flowering weeks early.

Imagine, for a second, writing an essay called "It's Time to Build" and then supporting this ticket:

New Paper! We deployed an advanced computer-vision model to segment satellite imagery of street intersections, in order to measure pedestrian crossing distance throughout the 100 largest U.S. cities. Out now, open-access in the Journal of Transport and Land Use: www.jtlu.org/index.php/jt...

Snow is nature's urban planner: It can show us what parts of the roadway drivers don't use — and what can be reclaimed for pedestrians. Post your photos and videos of all the #sneckdowns you see and tag us and @mayor.nyc.gov so today's winter wonderland can inspire better streets year-round!

I'd say there's room on 9th Street for a bike lane.

L.A. Metro, the main transit operator for Los Angeles, just voted to oppose SB 79, a law legalizing the construction of housing near stations. You can't make this stuff up. Legislators should remember this the next time they come to Sacramento begging for more money. laist.com/news/housing...
