This PSA is ghoulish & intensely disrespectful of the many hundreds of thousands of people who have themselves been affected or lost loved ones due to traffic violence through no fault of their own. Please delete this post & strongly consider why/how you thought it was appropriate in the first place
This isn't to imply that it'll work for you, but advocates did fight for decades to successfully win bike access on every public transit option here in the East Bay for no additional charge, to intentionally help overcome some of our distance & geography barriers via multi-modal trips.
I’m hoping for a 980 open streets event as the successor though, shutting down the freeway for a weekend day to host a giant block party.

I love it too (would love it more if Berkeley completed the side path on Marina Blvd). But don’t eat the dirt!
Yep first Oaklavia then Love Our Lake Day for several years was amazing. The cost of requiring OPD for traffic control was too much though. At first Mayor Quan got the city to cover it, but once that ended the event was no longer financially feasible.
Yep, and that's why I'm fighting like heck to help pass the Bay Area public transportation bill in November. I consider it an existential concern for our region.
Nearly all of the pedestrian behaviors shown in your PSA are not against the law. If a pedestrian acting legally is not safe in a crossing, then that is *your* fault as a result of inappropriate street design. Take responsibility, do better, & save lives.
Given that the park is on top of a toxic landfill, maybe we shouldn't name it after anyone we like too much.

If a new tax doesn’t pass in November, one plan would cut service to two-thirds of pre-pandemic levels. Bus lines that serve fewer people, such as the 281, 19, 251, and 56, are on the chopping block.
