This Great Highway Obsession Must End For the Good of San Francisco

Hello Sunset District people: a D10 resident would like a word with you about the November election.

Another casualty of Mayor Lurie’s last-minute micromanagement in adding a left turn phase to Valencia at 17th, 21st and 23rd: The signals have lost their leading pedestrian intervals.

LPIs improve safety by letting peds/bikes go first, with 3-7sec of walk light before green light. Just added a few years ago as a state-funded safety improvement, they’re gone now.

benches have gone up at bus stops around the Mission and parts south. thanks https://sfbabc.org !! everybody deserves comfort and dignity while waiting for the bus

Lovely fucking neighborhood walk.

Here is a brand new, very hot off the presses, original Christmas song! This might be my fastest turnaround ever from recording to release: we made it the day after Thanksgiving — just a week ago! “I’m Not Going Anywhere This Christmas” is for all the introverts out there this extroverted holiday season. I hope it slides somewhere into your holiday playlist and becomes part of your seasonal soundtrack ritual. I am wishing you and yours a peaceful, quiet, tranquil holiday season with it. “I’m Not Going Anywhere This Christmas” will be streaming on all the streamers in a couple weeks, but for now it only lives on @bandcamp …and it’s Bandcamp Friday! Collaborators: recorded by Matt McDavid at 2200 Studios in Sausalito, CA (I’m playing the piano that was used on “Don’t Stop Believing”), mastered by Adam Ayan, Band of Supervisors member Oscar Westesson on upright bass, and cozy artwork by Tammy Quinelle. Merry Christmas! 🎄✨ https://johnelliott.bandcamp.com/track/im-not-going-anywhere-this-christmas

We have no idea what this will actually contain so I'd suggest bringing a sign with a clear message that you support like "Vision zero means zero" or "every traffic death is a policy choice" or "Fix Our Streets now, no more delays" (maybe too wordy but you get the idea)

The bus is amazing.

I still think the most under-reported, most holy shit tech story of the last 5+ years is how good e-bikes have gotten and how much more affordable a decent e-bike has become.

E-cars and trucks are a nice change but mostly meh. E-bikes, tho? They are magic.

They deserve subsidies and way more press attention.

The kid's grown six inches in two years and still isn't tall enough to be seen over the hood of these ridiculous death machines prowling our neighborhood streets.
Heads up @sfmta_muni: 17th & Judah is a disaster. Same intersection where a car ran into an apartment building a couple weeks ago. You need permanent infrastructure deterring 19th Ave cut through traffic.
