my main mastodon profile is at @phoca2004. I will post here only things that are of significance to the San Francisco Bay Area community.

Not to take anything away from the muralist, but this really is a celebration of putting lipstick on a pig. Water down to irrelevance (queue the “safe hit posts”) and then try to brand it all as success. The merchants of West Portal can fuck themselves. It’ll be a warm sunny summer day on the west side before I shop with those that put their perceived profit motive above #StreetSafety @sfmta_muni

Congratulations Tramp/Musk ticket voters. Enjoy the government shutdown. These billionaires don’t give the first fuck about you or anyone who doesn’t have a seven figure bank account. #EnjoyTheRideYouVotedFor
Went from dry to drowning rat in about 30 seconds there, but I’m keeping my adopted drains cleared and there is no flooding there. https://adoptadrain.sfwater.org/ #adoptadrain #sfpuc

San Francisco’s west side is in an uproar over the Great Highway. Do small businesses share the rage?

https://cnpsmarin.org/report-to-cnps-membership-on-cnps-et-al-v-mmwd/ It is absolutely true the CEQA has been long abused to do things like hold up housing and delay bike lanes and the like, however, it seems as if an environmental review of such changes in a wildland area IS the actual appropriate time to seek environmental review.
I think it is very important for folks to get out in nature and understand how the assist provided by a class 1 ebike can help in that process. I also know that I have seen motorcycles posing as e-bikes take advantage of access (Before anyone accuses me of being anti-motorcyclist, know that I was scooter trash since before many of you were born).
In an ideal world, mountain bike advocacy organizations would work together with CNPS, and their membership would come out and support projects to enhance not just the resilience of trails to support cyclist use, but also the resilience of nature.
Report to CNPS Membership on CNPS et al. v. MMWD - CNPS Marin
By David Long, Co-President CNPS Marin Chapter The California Native Plant Society (CNPS), Marin Audubon Society, and Marin Conservation League (MCL) have challenged the approval by the Board of Marin Municipal Water District (MMWD, aka Marin Water) for e-bikes to ride nearly 100 miles of fire roads systemwide and regular bikes and e-bikes to ride on nine singletrack trails without prior environmental review. This report provides some background for this case and brings you up-to-date on its status.
