    San Francisco makes up for being a middling-to-bad pizza city by being an absolute God-tier sandwich city.

    I only worked briefly in journalism but I know I would have been torn a new one if I tried to tell a one-sided story like this one. The bus lane citations are there for a reason! Talk to the passengers!

    “those who can afford a bicycle” is such a bizarre phrase when discussing bikes and cars — even the most expensive bikes are cheaper than almost all used cars, to say nothing of insurance, maintenance, gas, etc.

    This ballot measure would go beyond reversing car-free JFK by undoing the car bans along stretches of Martin Luther King Drive and Bernice Rogers Way that together form a bike and pedestrian spine along the length of Golden Gate Park. ow.ly/aF6M50JwzUk

    new google maps UI is cartographically disappointing! major local roads and limited-access highways (freeways) are basically indistinguishable.
    a screenshot of google maps in San Mateo County, California showing US Highway 101, California State Route 82, and California State Route 92. The roads are all of similar widths and colors.

    Probably the only one on my TL watching the CMA’s (on after Jeopardy!) and Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood did a fun little anti-Trump diddy. Sorta surprised given the venue.

    I love being a transportation planner but it's really unfortunate how many people in our profession are sociopaths who want to do things like demolish homes to widen a freeway in 2020.
