Fine. If you kill a transit line to try to prevent more housing, you get a 15 lane highway through your neighborhood that begins and ends where the transit line was killed.

The Onion was only 15 years ahead of Caltrans, but their proposal was rightfully satire.

"They're raising prices in places where demand is highest and lowering prices in places where demand is lowest" is a concept everyone understands and generally accepts *except* when it comes to pricing anything to do with cars and driving.

If people aren't willing to pay for the parking they use, we should remove it. One-by-one, the parking lots in the middle of Balboa Park should be removed. We need more park space for people.

So a dedicated bus lane isn't needed because cars will magically pull over to let the bus through as if the bus were an ambulance?! That's not how any of this works. A bus without a dedicated lane is just another bus stuck in traffic with the resulting reduced ridership.

Are there any places that have been able to build usage through quick-build without establishing a basic network?

San Diego doesn't have nearly enough public restrooms as it is. It was shocking a couple of months ago to discover the public restrooms at Old Town are now only open 6 hours a day.

"Hernandez-Mendoza had activated the crosswalk safety lights before he began crossing the street, officials said. After hitting Hernandez-Mendoza, Kolarsky drove around the man’s unconscious body in the roadway and fled, according to the Marion County District Attorney’s Office."

And how many have deliveries done in the alley versus the street in front.

"San Diego’s rental slide is largely the result of increased apartment construction", said Zumper analyst Crystal Chen. “This reflects how significantly the competitive pressure on renters has eased,” she said. “This shift is driven by a surge in supply." Never stop building.

When you board a bus, you have to pay the fare. People riding buses would be penalized for all the people riding trolleys and not paying fares if fares are increased or service is cut.

There was a fare inspector at the front of the 235 when I boarded, something that's very rare. One of the three people that had been waiting at that stop boarded through the rear door without paying a fare and was removed from the bus.

The church wants parking at the curb on both sides of the street and a sharrow on a one-way street versus a two-way protected bike lane. Eff that.

Pacific Surfliner ridership is back to what was typical pre-pandemic between San Diego and Los Angeles on a Friday, full northbound and standing southbound.

Meanwhile San Diego is doubling down on maintaining overly wide streets while almost everything else gets cut. Put people way before cars.

The murder weapon that results in the least penalties, if any, is a car or truck.

"This is what I'm concerned about — that the mayor's office heard one too many complaints about bike lanes and decided to make a sharp left turn and decide we're just not doing them anymore," Elo-Rivera said. Cars on city streets are the biggest safety issue in San Diego.

The city planning commission wants to fully implement SB 79 more quickly while the mayor's planning director would go more slowly and sharply limit where it applies.

The parking and bike lane could be swapped, but we'd rather it be dangerous for a child than uncomfortable for someone driving carelessly.

"Better infrastructure helps vulnerable pedestrians, too. On streets with protected bike lanes there is a 39-percent decrease in crashes that cause death and serious injury for seniors, and that drop is 24 percent for non-senior adults, according to DOT."

"I understand that the city intends to put parking meters all down Adams Avenue. It’s just petty to put parking meters on the side streets around the library. Are city leaders trying to destroy the communities that make San Diego a special place to live?"

In California, we would still be in the middle of environmental review to figure out whether fewer cars and more bikes would help or harm the air quality.

The revised language is substantially better and would block anti-transit measures to avoid triggering the density provisions in SB 79.

The Rapid 215 gets to my transfer stop 6 minutes late causing me to miss a connection by 1 minute for a route with service every 20 minutes. There was no help at all from Transit Signal Priority as the 215 got progressively later. It needs Transit Signal Preemption and well-maintained bus lanes.

Wherever cars regularly skow buses, it results in lower ftrquency than could otherwise happen with the same number of buses and bus drivers.

And preferably in SFH-only zoned neighborhoods.

Purposely violating laws should be grounds to remove their license for doing business in a city.

There need to be stiff penalties for not meeting housing targets in California.

Could one day at one time San Diego send parking enforcement and four tow trucks to this bus stop and bike lane on Park north of ECB?

Never stop building.

Cars were and are the problem. I'm livid at those trying to kill every alternative to cars to appease those people that drive everywhere and walk the final 10 feet to their destination.

Not much information on the details, but that stroad has a posted speed limit of 45 mph with narrow bike lanes "protected" only with paint, a lethal and typical design in the San Diego area on similar roadways.

Just the customary four cars blocking the bike lane on early Monday evening.

If they have the money to arrive by the most expensive means, they have the money to pay for parking. "A January poll of San Diego residents...found that 80% wanted paid parking in Balboa Park eliminated or reduced, and 69% said the fees would make them visit less often."

Bus etiquette 101: - Be ready to board when the bus arrives - Have your fare ready

Meanwhile, the windows are darkly-tinted so you can't see where the person driving is looking.

There aren't going to be any fast-moving compensation vehicles on those streets.

Is open container in North Park good now?

When you're driving a car on a city street, your number one job is to not hit anything else. Slow down if you're going too fast for that.

San Diego has more pavement than it is willing or able to tax itself to maintain. San Diego needs to stop maintaining the full width of its overly wide streets instead of cutting funding in a lot of other areas including street safety.

"I wish they would take this bike lane away and give us our parking back," said Kelly It's not his parking. And his business is across the street from the large North Park parking garage.

No more bike lanes in San Diego? "Other cuts include homeless services, facilities maintenance, zoning enforcement, park rangers, restroom closures in some parks and elimination of a team that adds bike lanes across the city."

Crash delaying traffic on the southbound 15 by 30 minutes, but no delay at all on the 290. Transit for the win.

Not even close to empty bus vibes on the 235 every evening. Ridership is growing and I was one of 9 people to board at my stop. Hey U-T, what would it cost to move all of these people in 30+ AVs?

"...the company has built a robust dataset...on trends like cell phone distraction, hard-braking, and speeding. Actuaries say all those behaviors are highly predictive of future collisions, particularly when they happen again and again at the same sites."

Meanwhile in San Diego, MTS bus service will remain at less than pre-pandemic frequency.

But someone did a "study" 5 years ago for 20 "peak commuting" hours during the pandemic and concluded no one is using those bike lanes.

When I have to cross a large parking lot after exiting transit to get to services, it widens the already large time penalty of using transit versus driving. It's self-defeating.

Why will San Diego request that Caltrans remove the northbound bus lane on Park Boulevard over Interstate 5, but won't ask Caltrans to close the gap in bike lanes on University Avenue on the bridge over the 163? Would it be different if Mayor Useless traveled anywhere outside of his black SUV?
