Look Out USF Students! The Incompetent SFMTA is Coming for Your Parking Spaces

Friday, May 3rd, 2013

Get all the deets from Vicente Patino here.

“If the tentative hearing indeed takes place on May 17, a follow-up SFMTA board meeting would likely be scheduled for Tuesday, June 18. According to Paul Rose, press officer for the city agency that oversees parking, traffic, and transportation planning in San Francisco, these new measures may be passed. The board’s approval in June could mean that all-day parking would be gone by the end of summer 2013.”

Actually, this van was parked on Divisadero at a place the real estate ladies now call NoPA, so  I guess you are changing, Western A.

But anyway…

If You Park Your Car on a San Francisco Sidewalk Overnight, This Might End Up Happening to It

Monday, March 4th, 2013

Via Dallis Willard, who’s Everywhere You Want To Be.

Upon seeing a giant Cadillac on the sidewalk, some peds will call the DPT ticketing service at 553-1200, but others will whip out the blue paint:

Either way, this looks like a case for the San Francisco Department of Sidewalk Parking.

Car Parked Illegally, Parking Enforcement (415) 553-1200.

On It Goes.

You know, back in the day, SFGov freely violated the 14th Amendment until it got slapped down.

These days, SFGov violates the 1st Amendment with its Christians Park Free rule. When will SFGov get slapped down on this issue?

I know not. It’ll take a new Yick Wo to file a lawsuit. (Right? ‘Cause just nagging the SFGov isn’t going to cut it. SFGov will just ignore you.)

In the meantime, enjoy San Francisco’s Transit First (Except for Church-Goers) policy.

Masonic Tableau: What Do You See Here on the Needlessly-Wide Sidewalk? The Cyclist or the BMW?

Monday, June 18th, 2012

I’ll tell you, what I notice is not the attractiva on the orange, fully-loaded Public Bike from Public Bikes, but the illegally-parked, aging BMW 3-series convertible.

But that’s just me.

Hey, who do you think the SFMTA outreached when they wanted to focus-group the plan to put in more unnecessary trees on Masonic for $20,000,000 from Uncle Sucker and/or the taxpayers of the State of California? Do you think it was the users of Masonic Street or the people, like the BMW owner, who live next to it? That’s right, the SFMTA only focus-grouped the nearby residents of Masonic Avenue.

Is that the correct way to do things, SFMTA?

I don’t think it is.

Oh well.

Anyway, cyclists should continue to feel free to use the excessively-wide sidewalks of Masonic, depending on conditions, despite any peer pressure they might feel from governmentally-produced garbage such as this.
