Send a one click email in support of Sunset Dunes park. (the largest pedestrian project in CA history, which has already been approved by the CA Coastal Commission. (Supes Chan and Walton are working the back channels to get the 3rd and 4th supes to place it on the June '26 ballot)

JFK Promenade has been off the charts the past two days. People love car free spaces.

SF DCCC agenda for tomorrow night (9/24/25). There's a few nuggets in there like the reso against the misuse of license plate readers. drive.google.com/file/d/13PuM...

GGB wind observations this morning. Balmy and a decidedly off shore flow. 90% of the time the wind is coming from the SW @ 225°. #cawx app.konectgds.com/kiosk/8ca22f...

The best take(s) I've read about the Engardio recall election are on Safe Street Rebel's IG stories. (Engardio's original base that got him elected was flawed is an understatement)

Tonight (9/17/25) starting at 6pm is the @sfcta Inner Sunset Transpo Study Meeting at the SF County Fair Building in GGP. (footsteps from 9th and Lincoln) Come hear what the TA has planned (8 street designs) for this amazing neighborhood that feeds into GGP! www.eventbrite.com/e/inner-suns...

Story of the month for me anyway. Sorry for the paywall. I read this article in print. China is running circles around the US and it isn't even funny especially for the next generation. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/c...

Thanks for the shout out today, @thatmc.bsky.social, while you were operating the 44 O Shag Nasty! Indeed I was rocking the fog and gold flag! 🫡 @urbanlifesigns.bsky.social

Excellent discussion about the Engardio recall and Sunset Dunes! I highly recommend you tune in tonight when it re-airs or listen on the @kqednews.kqed.org app. @kqedforum.bsky.social @alexis-madrigal.bsky.social

@parkingreform.org webinar this afternoon had a ton of members and folks attending. Very well done. Amazing 60 mins and I hope they host another one very soon!

Market Street for the people! @walksf.org @sfbike.org @streetsforallsf.org

Just saw a white Lexus SUV driver illegally turn onto Market at 9th and make another illegal left turn onto 10th. This happens all day long. I know you guys are shocked. Lurie and Ned need to get out of their offices and SUVs and see what is happening on the ground.

Market Street for the people!

"We demand that Mayor Adams immediately direct the Department of Transportation to complete the full road diet — a plan that should have been protecting our community for the past two years."

People love car free spaces. (it's much more crowded on its main side) SF's Heart of the City FM. The best place to shop with politicos and locals. Such amazing weather today!

"Basically, if you want a longlasting, ebike (Surly) powerhouse that’ll fit in tight spaces, haul ass, and potentially replace your shitty beater, this is it."

New at West Portal station.

SEPTA Regional Rail experienced significant delays and cancellations today due to its oldest-in-the-nation trains, some dating back to the Nixon Administration: wwww.septa.org/news/regiona... SE PA state senators Joe Picozzi and Frank Farry believe cancelling replacements to fund rural roads is OK.

TIL about "dwell time". HT @yonahfreemark.com & @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Upway says the Specialized Globe Haul LT is "lightweight, durable and designed for the modern explorer." It weighs 88lbs and is one of the heaviest ebikes I've ever ridden and easily outweighs its competitors. Is AI writing their product descriptions?

At any one time, there are 500 million empty parking spaces in the US—for 340M citizens. Avg parking space size: 153 sq ft—which adds up to a parking lot the size of Delaware + Rhode Island. Estimated annual taxpayer subsidy to free parking: $374 billion. 🧵

My fav SF buoy 26 logging warmer water temp than air temp. You don't see that often. #cawx www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page...

I joined @brooklynspoke.bsky.social and @sgoodyear.bsky.social to discuss free transit on the War on Cars podcast ⏬

Lots of tourists and locals along the panhandle and inner GGP. I fought the squirrels and ate my Schlok's bagel sando.

The transit facilities and service of the 30 has improved greatly for folks wanting Presidio access from Union Square, North Beach and Chinatown. The stops along Old Mason Street are great with world class views.

Event down at the Crissy Field Center. 25mph sustained winds with 30mph gusts. Def chilly. Always good weather to bike.

I was in GGP after work and could hear Dead and Co sound check. Heard Wharf and Scarlet. Sounded really good. Be excited if you are going this weekend!

Seems safe. Thanks, Recology.

Was reviewing the SF Transpo Plan 2040 from December 2013 & stumbled on the bi-partisan CTA all star team: John Avalos, D11, CHAIR Scott Wiener, D8, VICE CHAIR Eric Mar, D1 Mark Farrell, D2 David Chiu, D3 Katy Tang, D4 London Breed, D5 Jane Kim, D6 Norman Yee, D7 David Campos, D9 Malia Cohen, D10

Absolutely a ton of content at tomorrow's BoS meeting. Was trying to find more info on Supe Melgar's safe streets coordination reso. sfbos.org/sites/defaul...

Fischer playing the Moscone Center on December 19. Say what? Heck yeah.

Richard Oakes (Mohawk) at age 27 was the first person tasked to create an ethnic studies program that focused on Native American Studies at SF State. (source @kqedforum.bsky.social) Theme is #Alcatraz Cultural Legacy

Anonymous #KQED staff members voice concerns about company's layoffs and 15% reduction in force — in "open letters" posted around the station's San Francisco neighborhood. KQED's story on layoffs here: www.kqed.org/news/1204812...

I love the smell of thermoplastics in the morning.

Got absolutely soaked on my morning commute. Was not anticipating rain, which was coming down quite hard in GGP and the Richmond. Did not have fenders or rain pants on. Wettest I've been in many years commuting via analog bike.

It has been so freaking humid on the Westside of SF. Karl, I don't mist you.

How tariffs are affecting the US bike industry. Today I was lucky enough to buy a Shimano Ultegra cassette for $89 from my LBS. They told me that with tariffs the newer ones are $129.

Recommended listen. The Times SoCal immigration reporter interviewed by @kqednews.kqed.org. One take away is LA is DT's test case on raids and unlawful detention. He'll target other deep blue democratic cities next. (~12 min listen) www.kqed.org/news/12048121

"Asking taxpayers to dig in their pockets, “particularly in a time of uncertainty, shouldn't be taken lightly,” the controller wrote in his letter. His staff’s report indicated that the city doesn’t yet have a contingency plan if voters reject the new taxes" 1/2 www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/m...

@sfmta.bsky.social is now running 38 Rapids after 10pm from downtown! I was delightfully shocked to ride one last night from Montgomery station after the Giants game.

Lime will be introducing a pretty sleek e bike to the SF market. Smaller wheels, maybe 20", than Bay Wheels. I saw and chatted with the hardware team, who were testing the prototypes.

Daly City BART is very close to the SF border and is a natural transfer point for western SF residents between their homes and downtown. But it’s not covered by the Muni/BART-in-SF monthly pass, making such commutes quite expensive

Is there semi-valet bike parking at Downtown First Thursdays? Happy to pay for full valet as well. #bikeparkingreform #sfmta

This is in respone to another petition that argues @sunsetdunes.org should be closed to bicycle "traffic". Please sign. www.change.org/p/stop-unsaf...

Per the Ultradynamico / Ron newsletter, their tire prices will go up $10 on July 7th, so they're encouraging folks to buy now if you'd like a "sale". They haven't raised prices since 2019, their factory has raised prices on them 3 times & they're being hit with a 10% tariff for incoming shipments.
