Hope to see you tonight

Travel lane closed to provide a path for cyclists and pedestrians.

2008 was the last time I moved as a renter. I wonder how different the rental market would be had this been passed.

Maybe it’s been so long everyone has just forgotten.

Staff at the Mayor’s office has responded by installing a temporary protected bike lane on the Washington Street uphill.

Thanks to the Mayor and all those who contacted his office for getting this bike route reopened.

Say it with me now: Trump-flation.

Yeah, the largest non-partisan interest group in the country. Call it what you will. Car Lobby.

Politicians learn quickly that the car lobby will burn them hard if crossed. The mayor made a similar shift in ideology.

SDUSD is leasing their underused properties to developers for 99 years with requirements that they provide housing for teaching staff.

Good news! Saw them laying down markings this morning and we’re finally getting a bike lane on Upas along Morley Field!

Bad news: just paint, no protection

San Diego is breaking the low income only standard and will be building units for broader income levels including teachers making over 120% AMI.

The uptown plan include a historic trolley car running up Sixth to Hillcrest. Fourth and Fifth have the protected bike lanes. I would argue that st least one entry into the park should be free of the traffic jams on the weekend and open to people on foot.

I love this concept.

If we want to serve tourists, approach the problem the way Walt Disney would have. Lean into the spectacle and grandeur of the experience.

Imagine the bridge as a grand main entrance receiving people into the park with style and ceremony. No traffic or noise to bother with. At the west end of the bridge, a roundabout that the park trolley could use to turn around and carry pedestrians who don’t want to walk into the park.

I sketched a plan that divided access to the park into two sections. People arriving by car would use Park Bl. While others arriving by foot, bike, bus, trolley, and ride share, would arrive primarily from the west and cross cabrillo bridge by foot or by bicycle.

I know a lot of people who supported that plan but I could never completely get over introducing hundreds more cars into the core of the park. What did you like about the plan?

Why is El Prado open to car traffic. The street is not functional. No one here is having a good time in Balboa Park. Closing it would make a better experience for everyone, including drivers

Don’t typically go for the historic color palette but this seemed like a solid choice.

I asked this question, then suggested that Carrillo bridge be close and cars limited to Park Blvd since that’s where the lots are. The suggestion that cars drive around to Park where the lots are landed like you would expect.

Past few weekends I spent patching and finishing the walls and repairing damage from the massive rain storm. Started the process of painting today, ceilings first.

The 5 can move that many cars in one hour.

We can do both

It’s not just easy, it’s been closed for extended periods and no one really noticed.

We had great bodysurfing in Oxnard.

From downtown? Take the trolley or there’s the 5 and 805. We have four N/S connections, that’s too many.

Where is the best bodysurfing break? Pier or jetty?

San Diego,

The average price of a new car is 50k. There is no new car under 20. Gas is up 11% in one week.

Ride a bike.
