Parisians just voted to overwhelmingly expelled e-scooters and their 3 micro mobility companies. Le sigh. HT @npr

1. At first I was really skeptical of this project. A win in SF is when it makes nobody happy. (keep in mind certain groups were trying to kill the center running bikeway)

2. Removing *71* car storage spaces is a big deal, especially in D9.

3. If the powers that be can hold the mayor's office, Supe Ronen and MTA accountable, I do think a better design is possible.

4. SFFD tired act is unconscionable and needs new leadership said Capt Obvious.

Yep and if it was up to me we'd do a complete overhaul of our curb mgmt policy. Very little curb space allocated for private vehicles. Expand ADA parking. Daylight the shit out of intersections. Add plazas with lots of benches, bioswales, bike parking hangars, little Free libraries, etc.

Outdated bc of the Shared Spaces program but still relevant.

I cannot believe I slept on this pod, with the venerable Donald Shoup!

@TheWarOnCars: "What is wrong with minimum parking requirements?"

Donald Shoup: "Everything!"

I hosted a webinar about SF Residential Parking Permits with amazing panelists @apthornley, Joanna Gubman and Raynell Cooper.

I'm happy to see back in the local transpo discussion especially if MTA can charge market rate? for car storage.

Upper was a mess during this morning's commute. Must have been street cleaning. Almost got left hooked by a driver who didn't use their turn signal when they found a free parking spot. Lots of double parkers too.

Can we please stop dancing around the fact that motorists and deliver app drivers absolutely abuse the public right of way to the detriment of others? This step shouldn't be controversial.

"City transportation officials have acknowledged that raising parking fees and enforcement is highly controversial among many city residents, though the grim outlook could steer the agency’s board toward making some of those changes."

"A naive interpretation of the data in parking generation is peak demand for free parking *is* the demand for parking. ITE seems to accept this." "this is how most drivers think about parking." - D. Shoup

Good 5 read. Provides the history and current adaptations to the bleak concrete monolith idea in downtowns. “Everybody’s talking about it & nobody’s doing it,” says Speck of garage conversions. “The real issue is getting cars out of cities.”

MTA added a significant red daylighting zone at Clement & Slow 23rd. It is at the SW corner adjacent to the bike share station. Really hoping they do more of this along active mobility corridors. (I'll try to take a pic later)
