And this 7-11 has “customer parking?”

SFMTA Announces Slower Transit Times for 43 Masonic Bus Line – New NIMBYs First, Transit Last Policy
Friday, January 7th, 2011I don’t know why a handful of wealthy,* white, weathered** property owners with great (or not so great) estates on/near Masonic Boulevard takes precedence over the rest of San Francisco, but that appears to be the situation these days. Read the news and turn the pages:
Taxi Driver Complains about New Signal Timing on Masonic: Best Indicator of Change
Aren’t taxis transit? Isn’t the 43 Masonic transit? And why is the speed limit for Turk Street lower than for Masonic Avenue? And why is the speed limit for Lincoln ten miles an hour faster than that for Masonic? They’re both “residential streets,” right?
Just asking, bro.
Slower 43′s mean smaller splashes. Quel dommage!
*Here’s what all the wealthy NIMBYs say: “Well, I’m not wealthy.” They’re lying.
**How about seasoned, instead?

San Francisco’s Ephemeral Lake Masonic Fixed Today by the Pothole Patrol
Monday, March 16th, 2009San Francisco’s ephemeral Lake Masonic, the drencher of numerous pedestrians at the intersection of Fell and Masonic has made its last appearance for a while. The City’s pothole patrol paid a visit this morn, so that’s that.
From this (assuming the #43 Masonic bus driver slows down and changes lanes to avoid another ped drenching, as here)…

Hurray!
Those looking for a good drenching will now need move one block down to Lake Ashbury, should the need arise:
Stay dry!
The Kindly Bus Drivers of San Francisco’s MUNI Bus System
Saturday, February 14th, 2009You know for every MUNI bus driver who conducts an improper sidewalk beatdown, there’s another one who goes out of her way not to drench people on Fell Street during rainy weather.
As here, where the driver of this southbound 43 Masonic slowed down and merged to the left to avoid excessively splashing a pedestrian with dirty water from ephemeral Lake Masonic.
Good for her.
