Well, enforcement must be lax, because I took this photo at 4:37 pm.

What's funny is that the bottle cage is pretty much the least expensive component they could have stolen off the bike!

What madness is this?

"We're not going to make room for a bike lane, but we will throw a sharrow into the door zone."

Busy day in the state capital lobbying our electeds to improve bike safety (and not to destroy the state's ebike industry!)

The cities of California should be as well protected by bollards as the capitol building of California.

Apparently they got cost estimates in 2019 that were almost double what was expected, and it's just been on pause since then.

See, that is the kind of chaotic behavior that makes me think it was the same vandal.

The Sacramento Amtrak station is fun because you get to go past a haunted train station exhibit before you walk a few hundred yards farther to your train.

I missed that. What a bummer.

There are multiple other components that they could have taken, but they appear to have stopped at just one!

Haha, I wish!

Really putting the "petty" in petty theft

You can't help but laugh a little

Some shithead stole a single bottle cage off my bike during my train trip to Sacramento.

Nice of them to replace the bolts though?

Yes, Bancroft and 6th, east leg.

These people have been huffing residual gas from the pipes.

Seriously, what is wrong with historic preservationists?

When will it be not gauche/cringe to read from a cell phone in a formal setting like a wedding toast?

Do Gen Z people already feel like this is fully appropriate and I'm just old-fashioned?

I would feel compelled to write/print the text out on paper in such a setting.

They do work, maybe...70% of the time? But you'll never know ahead of time, so you just end up potentially wasting 90 seconds waiting for another cycle after you end up hitting the ped request button.

And if you're in a cargo bike, that can be really annoying/difficult to do.

This particular signal uses video rather than inductive loop detection, which to me means that it was never calibrated correctly.

This is something you should flag for @prinzrob.bsky.social if he doesn't already know about it.

I mean, the Sen̓áḵw development is a mere 10 acres! The Presidio is 1,500!

I think we can spare less than 1% of it.

The above slides are from this presentation.

My kingdom for a city that talked about building out a low-stress bike network, and prioritized closing gaps.

It's worth clicking on the image to see how the app overlaps with the OS toolbar at the top, something I have literally never seen happen.

This is like elementary app design shit here.

It was slightly cloudy this morning, but hardly inclement.

I have submitted a 311 on the city's absolutely crap app.

Here's what you see when you open it up without logging in.

Yeah, that one has bike-specific detection (with feedback - very Dutch).

I don't know of any other examples on a Caltrans facility anywhere.

You get into trouble where a single detector is trying to pick up both cars and bikes apparently.

I swear we'll have flipping pod cars before cities get bike detection working.

Is there a bigger joke technology than bike detection?

This is a *brand new* signalized intersection in Berkeley and I had to wait 2 cycles and just push the ped button because the bike detection just doesn't work.

And there's no way to *tell* it doesn't work besides waiting for it to fail.

So, not the leading cause, because there are effectively no diverters in the place you described?

Seems like a meaning correction!

Can you provide a citation for these being the "main reason" why it takes hours to evacuate?

There aren't even any diverters in the hills that I can think of.

This is the map of diverters from the bike plan update. Maybe it's missing a couple, but I'm not sure how these cause evac problems.
