@pwc @simonvarwell Santa: jolly old elf or red menace?
@simonvarwell It’s such a fine balance. People need to feel heard, even if they aren’t well informed. But there’s always a danger that the incensed but ill-informed are the only people who show up.
Overall, the responses were positive and supportive of slowing traffic speeds and improving safety for cyclists and pedestrians, especially kids going to and from school. Resurfacing and light improvements coming in 2025, more to follow. #alamtg
Public comments in the Fernside virtual workshop included the classic pro-car canards, including a. We shouldn’t make bike lanes safer, nobody bikes on that street; b. What about bicyclists who don’t stop at stop signs? And c. We don’t need to improve streets, we just need police at every intersection 24 hrs a day. #alamtg
Bike Walk AlamedaThe Fernside Traffic Calming & Bikeways Project is kicking off soon! This project aims to create a design concept to update Fernside Boulevard from Tilden Way to San Jose Ave. It will also develop an interim concept for Fernside from Tilden Way to High St that can be implemented with pavement resurfacing in the near term.

Dave Brubeck’s former house in the #Oakland hills is up for sale for $3 million. I’m tempted to ask if they’d take $5 https://www.emmamorrishomes.com/real-estate/6630-heartwood-drive-oakland-ca-94611/41041212/143432917
For anyone that knows more about video technology than me: Why are we still struggling with sun and shadow in live sports? Is there not real-time processing tech to balance the ISO? We can turn someone’s face into a talking cat, but we can’t deal with high contrast? #videography #sports
