Try riding an ebike, you'll love it.
In summary, Ford's bike lane removals will, according to a new City Hall report: - Cost $75 million in direct costs and sunk costs. - Make traffic much, much worse for at least nine months during construction to remove lanes - Have minimal long-term impact on car travel times.
See you next week, La Verne! @CaltransDist7 will be hosting a community meeting on Wednesday, 11/20 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. to discuss an upcoming multimodal project on Foothill Blvd (SR- 66). Take an online survey here: bit.ly/foothill_blvd or scan the QR below.
Cynthia and I, first and foremost, would like to thank every San Diegan who stepped forward to make our city a better place; everything we accomplished in this campaign was because of the amazing volunteers, contributors, and voters who joined in the fight. We started out as a no-name, #grassroots campaign surviving on $5 donations, taking on “the system,” and became a force to be reckoned with, knocking the high-profile incumbent to less than 50% in the Primary Election, and 55% in the General Election. Even though we were outspent by special interests and developers who directly benefit from City actions, our election margin was still closer than any of the other high-profile campaigns in the region, including for City Attorney, City Council, or County Supervisor. Nearly our entire campaign team was made up of unpaid volunteers, and what we accomplished through sheer grit and determination is amazing. Our #campaign was more than a political race, it was a movement. A movement which proved that we can overcome the factors that divide us, and instead focus on what unites us, for the good of our community. Our team and our volunteers came from all walks of life, across the #political spectrum, and formed one coalition: we are the San Diego Party - non-partisan, independent, and common-sense! To quote Louis Brandeis, American Lawyer and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, “The most important office, and the one which all of us can and should fill, is that of private citizen." Nearly half of this city voted for change and my hope for #SanDiego is that this is a wake-up call to current leadership that San Diegans deserve strong, competent, and transparent leadership that is not beholden to special interests. It was a privilege to run for Mayor of our amazing city, and it is a privilege to continue to serve San Diegans as your police officer working hard to keep you safe. Cynthia and I extend our congratulations to Mayor Gloria on his hard-fought reelection.
While 100% of Twitter users claim to claim to cycle to work, I don’t see most of them on my ride in each day. @StatCan_eng has said it could be 0.97% of Torontonians or perhaps 3.8%. An explainer from @katecallen. #onpoli #topoli thestar.com/news/gta/doug-…
Last video I did something pretty stupid. You might've already seen it, but maybe not so I'll address it here. There was a clip with the action cam of me test driving a car and going way to fast. Absolutely inexcusable and dangerous. I've since cut it out of the video with YouTube's editor tool. I also understand that this looks like covering it up, but I think it's the right thing to do. There's no reason to leave that clip in (there was no reason to include it in the first place) and I would never want to make it seem ok by leaving it in the video. I'm well aware of the Streisand effect, and I know everything on the internet lives forever, but I think that's the best decision right now. All I can do apologize and promise never to do anything close to that stupid again. That's a terrible example to set and I'm sorry for it.
