Heavy Rains Powerwash San Francisco Clean

    With a break from the frequent rains that usually douse San Francisco throughout most of December and January, some of us have marveled at how wet February and March have been.  And after last Tuesdays record rainfall, we definitely deserve some sunshine and warmer temperatures.  Here is a base composite radar image showing rainfall totals for last Monday evening through Wednesday afternoon for the entire Bay Area.

MUNI Driver Takes Unscheduled Break, Enjoys Starbucks

   Yesterday, myself and a group of six other people waited for almost an hour for the 23-Monterey bus heading East towards the Bayview, but it never came.  Actually, three buses never arrived.
   When a bus DID finally arrive I asked the driver (who was actually very apologetic), he told me that his leader and the leader before him had both called in sick. It seems that with MUNI owing operators a budget-busting $28 million in overtime pay, and with the SFMTA recently enforcing existing work rules that caused a 1-week decrease in absenteeism of 40%, and with annual salaries that rival any transit system in the entire country; why should even marginal ineptitude ensure job security?

F-Streetcar Could Reach Marina, Sea of Parking Lots

The extension would connect Fisherman's Wharf with The Marina District via an existing One-way tunnel, starting at Van Ness Avenue, that lies underneath Fort Mason

    The F-Historic Streetcar might make it's way to the Marina sooner than later.  With the release of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the extension, The National Park Service is overseeing the majority of the preliminary work, since most of the .85 mile extension from Jones Street to Fort Mason Center crosses federal land. The final construction and operation of the extension will be completed by MUNI.
