LaTonda Simmons has handled this encampment closure poorly. She's never been prepared to answer questions from media or Wood St residents. She spends most of her time on the sidelines on her phone. Several times, I've witnessed people have mental breakdowns, and she ignores them.
Great recap! One quibble: Oakland was 2nd major CA city to implement SB743 (aka switch to VMT for analyzing projects) and we’ve been doing it for nearly 4 years now!
2021 saw massive federal infrastructure bills passed along with new state laws that could help Oakland make its streets safer. But fixing the city's transportation problems requires undoing years of bad policies and road designs. @fermoso's look back. oaklandside.org/2021/12/29/the…
@OakDOT Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We updated the news release and pavement condition index table. Our planners investigated the issue and found Oakland uploaded the city's 2020 pavement scores into our system in September 2021.
So happy we finally get to make this announcement! Electric bike library run by the community, for the community! Amazing job @kerbyside and @OakDOT !
Huge thanks to @CACleanMobility for supporting Oakland with this $1M award! The City of Oakland will use the Clean Mobility Options Mobility Project Voucher to fund an electric bike library.

@jefposk I know this is Telegraph and 42nd because I reported it yesterday to 311 👋
This block wins some kind of prize Brookdale at Best #OaklandSlowStreets
@OakDOT @greenkozi Thanks for listening. Seems the purpose of this is more to send a message to drivers to use caution than to pedestrians, cyclists, and folks in wheelchairs to travel to and congregate on designated streets. With that in mind, the focus on select "slow" streets is confusing.
@OakDOT @greenkozi I'd recommend that your messaging focus almost entirely on drivers, not others. Beat that drum hard in every way you can, for every street, including whatever you can do to physically slow traffic on busy corridors. There's already less traffic on residential streets.
The present with #BeatCOVID19 is hard. But biking @OakDOT’s #OaklandSlowStreets with my kids today, gave us a glimpse of an alternate future with more room for joy and belonging. Note this front-porch scene with #teadance, #MCSolaar, #MarathonSunday, and #EasterParade(!) vibes.
@rrinoak @OakDOT Well done! Thank guy for this compassionate, wise leadership!
As an @WalkBikeBerk advocate and public health professional I too struggled with how to respond to #COVID19 & the need for more space for ppl to walk/bike w/distance. I’m heartened that @OakDOT is implementing the same, balanced approach we suggested @CityofBerkeley take.
Proud of @OakDOT today. I personally struggled with what our approach should be, but Oakland's Slow Streets program hits the exact right notes: don't #bancars but do #slowstreets by discouraging thru traffic on residential streets. oaklandca.gov/projects/oakla…
