It's that time of year again where the cranks are upset about how @nyc-dot.bsky.social keeps growing their wonderful #TrickOrStreets program. But if you're looking for an idea why not be a crank? Easiest costume ever & cheap: hide in the shadows, post lies on social media and hate safety for kids.
NYC is opening 160 car-free (but treat-filled) streets and plazas to enjoy fun and safe fall festivities this spooky season. Find one near you at nyc.gov/trickorstreets.

Ah so that explains the smoke
Berkeley: You may see or smell smoke from a planned prescribed burn on Angel Island today. The burn is planned for mid-week and crews will be monitoring conditions throughout the burn to minimize ground-level smoke impacts. View current air quality: fire.airnow.gov/#11/... berkeleyca.gov/safet...

AC Transit needs to use its funding on hiring more bus operators - not golden parachutes for top management. Having someone like @valencia4actransit.bsky.social who is both a budget watchdog and a visionary rider advocate would help a lot in turning this bus around! bsky.app/profile/alfr...
Adriana is already doing the work - attending AC Transit board meetings and holding the agency accountable. Let's put her in charge! oaklandside.org/2025/03/24/a...

“[Libby] Lee-Egan…installed a traffic counter at her house that sometimes measures drivers whizzing by at 45 [mph], a dangerous condition for any cyclist or scooter rider pedaling alongside them. ‘If it comes down to safety versus parking, we cannot let parking win,’ [she] said. ‘That’s crazy.”
It’s the latest salvo in a battle that’s spanned two mayoral administrations and endured endless rhetoric about the war on cars. And it could result in 100 lost parking spaces in Berkeley.

Today is your last chance to fill out a postcard for Hopkins! Find @prinzrob.bsky.social or @rosszb.bsky.social at Bike East Bay's Summer Brake event 5-7:30pm today. bikeeastbay.org/event/summer... It looks like it's going to be a blast and I'm bummed I'm going to miss it.

The absurdity of the Hopkins saga is what radicalized me and got me interested in engaging Berkeley politics in the first place. I’m running for D1 and safe streets is a core priority of mine. Climate, community, public safety and personal health: bike lanes are the way 💪🚲 Rossforberkeley.Com
The Berkeley City Council will vote on whether to provide protected bike lanes on Hopkins Street. What's interesting is that they did already, back in 2022. When that vote happened (which was later derailed), my older daughter was not yet born. She will start TK the week after this vote.

FYI I placed my own order yesterday and bonfire says it'll show up between July 16 and 27. So if you want a shirt before the big Hopkins meeting, order today! I'm selling these shirts very close to at-cost so this is not a side hustle for me. I want bike lanes on my street, not revenue.

Albany’s bike/walk plan was approved by City Council last night w a vote of 4-1, & live public comments about 2-1 in support. The Solano Ave protected bikeway recommendation was retained! 🎉 🎉 🎉 Thank you to everyone who wrote in or made comments live, & to the councilmembers for their support!
Albany's great bike/walk plan update is going to City Council for approval this Monday, July 6. But the plan's Solano Ave protected bikeway recommendation is getting a lot of pushback. Help out by emailing support comments NOW or joining the meeting on Monday! www.tinyurl.com/SolanoStreetscapeFAQ
Two updates, one much more important than the other: 1) Rumor has it Hopkins repaving will be voted on by city council July 28. I don't see an agenda online yet but this is pretty reliable info. #BikeSafeBerkeley #SafeHopkins Save the date and sign up for Hopkins emails: safehopkins.kit.com/signup

I had the privilege of living next to these cohousers in late 2019-mid 2020 and got to attend a couple dinners. Can confirm it is idyllic. They were very welcoming to me and my family, I hope as the makeup of the community changes they continue to be inclusive. www.berkeleyside.org/2026/06/30/b...
