We are incredibly grateful that #oakdot and #ACTransit will be installing plastic posts this Tuesday to deter speeding in the bus lanes
These initial measure must quickly be followed with speed cushions to ensure drivers slow to safe speeds
AC Transit operates a single bus line along International Boulevard: Line 1T - Tempo Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). Tempo serves approximately 15,000 riders on weekdays and 8,300 riders on weekends, along one of Oakland's most densely populated and culturally diverse regions. It emulates the frequency typically associated with light rail systems yet ingeniously uses buses.
Come mingle with fellow transporters and help us welcome Oakland's new Director of Transportation, Josh Rowan!
Transport Oakland's next Happy Hour will take place this Thursday, June 13 at The Double Standard (2424 Telegraph Ave) from 5:30pm - 7pm.

@danbrekke
And #OakDOT still has not implemented flexible parking zones to have 15% vacant spots through changing prices
May reduce parking in bike lanes.
City passed law to allow it. I heard rumors they are working on grant to do it
Here's my public records request, due June 29, 2023

A year ago on August 17th, 83 year old Willie Tea-Cake Jackson was driving home when he was killed by a reckless driver
His family returned yesterday on the one year anniversary to remember his life and mourn the loss of his life
14th Street with its excess speeding lanes is just as dangerous today as it was a year ago with no changes to prevent future tragedies
@davidzipper
Interesting panel
Will you examine areas where transit services objects to safer street designs, causing more pedestrian deaths and injuries?
In #Oakland, #ACTransit does not like speed cushions, for example, resulting in vehicles speeding on bus lanes.
BRT line was designed in a way which increased traffic deaths.
We're working on solutions to problems, AC Transit, #OakDOT, fire department, etc, but it is not an easy process
#Oakland has fire department and
@LukeBornheimer
This doc includes history of SF Fire Code, including history of SF removal of 26 feet requirement
We call on #ACTransit and #oakdot to work together on an interim plan that includes two car travel lanes, expanded pedestrian spaces, wide protected bikeways, and supports a future for dedicated bus lanes!
Together a safe and vibrant #GrandAve will be our future
