Dear @berkeleypolice and @BerkeleyPDChief, can we get this kind of safety enforcement with your STEP grant? Looks very effective. @WalkBikeBerk
This morning, ACPD motor officers conducted a high-visibility pedestrian enforcement campaign at Fairfax Dr./N. Kansas St. During this time, 25 summonses were issued to drivers for Failure to Yield to a Pedestrian in the Crosswalk.

This @AmyAHarder article is interesting, about the splits in Big Oil on policy. But it misses the main point: the companies have done their polling and are worried about the next president not being Trump. The Chamber et al are starting to reposition.

In election news you probably won't hear about, it appears that the MS PSC central district has elected an energy expert. Add him to the already robust northern district commissioner and you've got the makings of a great PSC.
California community choice aggregators like @PoweredbyEBCE are taking the lead with a tangible and clean response to the #PSPS problem. Good model for the state to follow, @GavinNewsom.
