Pretty sure Bartlett changed his vote to yes, so it's actually 7-2. Maybe I misheard though.
The battle of Hopkins bike lanes are back, the final battle, and I got a lot to say. I haven't attended a Berkeley city council meeting in 7 years, but on Tuesday I'll be there, and I hope you will too. darrellowens.substack.com/p/the-final-...
The Final Battle of Hopkins Bike LanesOne of the most important climate actions goes to Berkeley City Council.darrellowens.substack.com
They told us in Project 2025 they wanted to kill public transit, and they’re now working overtime to do it. They’ve not signed a single capital grant agreement for transit, in an effort to kill major rail, subway, and rapid bus projects across the country.

Another way to say "It could result in 100 lost parking spaces" is "It could result in safer streets for all street users, including drivers."
San Francisco ChronicleHere’s the latest salvo in a battle that’s spanned two mayoral administrations and endured endless rhetoric about the war on cars. It could result in 100 lost parking spaces in Berkeley.

When you look at actual world-class transit cities like London, Paris, Singapore, and Tokyo — None of them have free fares. All of them have an extensive network of trains and buses with some combination of speed, frequency, reliability, etc.
Mayor Karen BassAs Chair, I’ll build a long-term financial plan to make Metro fare-free. I’ve fought for a world-class transit system my entire career because public transit should create opportunity for everyone.
70+ postcards in support of a protected bikeway on Hopkins in N Berkeley were mailed out to the Mayor & City Council yesterday, including these great ones from area kids who want to get around on their own 2 wheels. Visit BikeEastBay.org/Hopkins to show your support too, before the July 28 vote!
Oh god please yes, it makes so little sense that bikes are banned and having the option would significantly open up options for people who live out west and want to take a bike outside of SF via Caltrain or BART

There’s a lot of space for greenery on our streets if you just reallocate a bit from cars.
Why does The State even allow cars to go over 100mph let alone 140mph. While everyone is freaking out about e-bike speed these are literally 1000x deadlier www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/d...
Driver was going over 140 mph before double-fatal crash in San Jose, DA saysA San Jose man was speeding in excess of 140 mph in the moments leading up to a crash that left a mother and her 2-year-old daughter dead, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office said.www.nbcbayarea.com

Why Are Waymos Still Blocking Bike Lanes?Waymo's robotaxis are marketed as dramatically safer than human drivers. But persistent bike lane incursions reveal an uncomfortable tradeoff: when safety and convenience collide, which one wins?www.thedriverlessdigest.comReminder: It's been a very long fight versus very awful people, but New York celebrates the community win on 31st Street this weekend:
