Experts in various transportation modes came together at a Planning Association for the
Richmond (PAR) forum to discuss the future of transportation.
Plan to protect neighborhoods abandoned
More than 15 San Francisco neighborhoods could burn to the ground due to a lack of water at the SF Fire Department ’s (SFFD) disposal after a major earthquake.
Transportation madness
Lately, I have been wondering why the city’s transportation agency has been running

Political muscle and dealmaking got Prop. E passed

Political muscle and dealmaking got Prop. E passed
In the ballot pamphlet supporting their position, the 10 supervisors said, “Proposition E
will make Muni much more accountable for service delivered. It will take strong steps to

None of those goals have come to pass.
