Seamless transfer from BART red to yellow line tonight. But if I had missed the connection, the next train comes in 10 minutes. We must fund transit and preserve this service. Without state funding, BART service could be reduced to one train per hour. We can’t let that happen!

El Cerrito was struggling to hire and retain childcare workers, so the City raised wages and now the school aftercare program is nearly fully staffed. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Paying living wages is critical to retaining staff and providing excellent city services.

Extra grateful for multiple transition options today. The El Cerrito Plaza BART station closed due to a medical emergency right after I arrived, so I’m taking @rideact 72R to the @BikeEastBay office in Jack London Square.

Love that I start every week walking my daughter to school down the Ohlone Greenway and then walking up the Greenway for my weekly meeting with El Cerrito City Manager Karen Pinkos. ❤️🚶🏼‍♀️🌳

Had an amazing day hiking with my daughter to the top of the El Cerrito Natural Hillside Area and enjoying incredible views. We’re so lucky to live in El Cerrito, where we can both walk to amazing hikes like this and walk to transit to connect with the rest of the Bay Area.

Happy Valentine’s Day! My family started our celebration with heart shaped pancakes and a walk/scoot to school on the Ohlone Greenway. So grateful to have this gem that welcomes families and people of all ages and abilities to safely walk, bike, and scooter together. ❤️🚶🏼‍♀️🚲🛴

So appreciate a heated bus waiting for me as I exit a BART station on this rainy evening ❤️🚍🚝 Any guesses what transit agency I’m riding?

Had a fantastic afternoon at the open house of the newly remodeled Kensington fire house with my daughter, who loved climbing on and exploring inside of fire engines. Kensington contracts with El Cerrito Fire Department, so this is 1 of 3 fire stations the department works from.

Spent much of the last two days on El Cerrito tours and briefings, an absolutely fascinating and humbling experience as I realized how much there is for me to learn as a new councilmember. So appreciate all the City staff, many of whom I met and learned from.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Building more housing near transit is one of the best ways to stop climate change. Thanks Senator Wiener and @cayimby for this important bill!

Maddening that I have to wave both of my arms above my head for several seconds to get car drivers to stop for me to walk across this crosswalk between a park and a school. We need to slow down cars on Moeser through infrastructure improvements.

I just took a poll on Bay Area transit funding and all of the responses on the first question felt completely inadequate for me. If only I could add in a response…

Just used the brand new fare gates at 12th Street @SFBART, installation completed today. The BART team has really been ramping up installation, with many more stations planned in the coming months.

Had a fantastic time touring Van Ness BRT and Geary rapid bus with West Contra Costa Transportation Commission. Speeding past traffic on buses showed how transformative bus only lanes would be on San Pablo Ave, being considered for El Cerrito/Richmond. Let’s make it happen!

Heading to San Francisco to tour their bus rapid transit with West Contra Costa Transportation Commission. It was fun to show folks the new regional wayfinding signs and maps at El Cerrito del Norte BART, such an exciting pilot project!

Loving my new @AlamedaCTC / @SFBART corner at my @BikeEastBay desk. Fits right in here since Bike East Bay played a huge part in passing Measure BB, funding bike infrastructure and transportation in Alameda County, and BART’s Measure RR.
