@DENAirport @AmericanAir A plane was on fire, with toxic smoke billowing across the tarmac and concourse, right next to the control tower, and operations are still "normal"?? I saw a video with other planes taxiing right past the fire. Something seems wrong with this picture!

@SFMTA_Muni Alternatively, there are other ways to address the north end of the 43. It could end in Presidio Heights like the 2, or it could even continue north and east as the 45. The main thing I want is a direct connection from the de Young / Academy of Sciences to Fort Mason.

[Shane Carr @_sffc]

Hey @SFMTA_Muni: often I want to get from Golden Gate Park to the Presidio or Fisherman's Wharf, but there is no route. Here's a suggestion to merge the 2, the 43, and the 44 into two L-shaped routes that offer better routes for passengers like me and many others. 🚍

@robpalmer2 @matteocollina @TC39 @v8js Yep. It's in the works.

@StoicHamster Thanks for the test and insights! (I'm a co-designer)

[Shane Carr @_sffc]

@SFBART Also for future compatibility: the western terminus of the tube should have a connection for a future Potrero Hill / Noe Valley branch.

[Shane Carr @_sffc]

Love the federal grant for #ThePortalSF. Next we need to start engineering the Alameda / Mission Bay / Geary @SFBART! #Link21 #transit

[James 🚃 @totebagtransit]

A second Transbay Tube is currently being envisioned by the #Link21 program. In 2024, Link 21 will decide whether to propose the crossing as @SFBART or Regional Rail (@Caltrain/@CapitolCorridor)

A 2nd crossing would both transform BART’s map and alleviate its biggest bottleneck

[Shane Carr @_sffc]

@SFBART The most sensible alignment for the new BART line is below Second Street, which is also the alignment for The Portal. Can we build The Portal with forward compatibility in mind like the train box underneath Salesforce TC?

@byJoshuaDavis @SFBART For it to be economically feasible I think the connection needs to service transbay commuters, too. Millbrae to Bay Fair would do that, but then the airport connection is slower. Best would be a tunnel bored deep underground connecting Coliseum, OAK, SFO, and Millbrae.

@SFBART What's wrong with the full height turnstile fare gates like in New York City? https://t.co/vEcO344kjY

[Shane Carr @_sffc]

Talked to the station agent at W. Oak station today. The fare gates haven't stopped fare evasion; people still muscle through, and while I stood there I witnessed a tailgator. Let's solve the problem, but this type of fare gate doesn't do the job. @SFBART #transit

@kiley0 @pipobscure @therealptomato I'll just add that browser vendors prefer to ship a proposal that is stable, so any slowdown in the number of changes on the proposal repository is reflective of the state in which the proposal needs to be in order for engines to implement it.

@Jeffinatorator @RebeccaForBART In general it's quite interesting that storefronts in older buildings in this area tend to be very high occupancy, but the storefronts in TODs, here and elsewhere in the Bay Area, sit vacant for years and years.

[Shane Carr @_sffc]

@Jeffinatorator @RebeccaForBART Yes please, more retail. Need to understand why businesses are not choosing these locations and respond with appropriate incentives. High rent and lease terms are likely deterrents but also could be lack of parking at the TOD, perceived crime, etc.

[Shane Carr @_sffc]

@Jeffinatorator There is a small grocer on the block in the historic building at 40th & Telegraph. Probably got a better deal on the lease than in the new TOD construction.

I'm super excited for my first title to be live on Kickstarter! We blew past our funding target in 12 hours and are working toward the stretch goal. Back on Kickstarter to receive not only Jewels but also its companion card Frozen Shinies by @ZovuGames and a PENGUIN PLUSHIE! 🐧🎲

[Jeff Tidball @jefftidball]

Game friends, today we launched Jewels for the Emperor Penguin on Kickstarter! It's a board game about leading your Penguin Guild up icy slopes to find and bring back the jewelry your sovereign covets. Fully funded in just under 12 hours! https://t.co/hx16sUWged

[Shane Carr @_sffc]

@dunsmoregames @Kickstarter Thanks Michael for backing and sharing the campaign!

[Shane Carr @_sffc]

Frozen Shinies is a great game and I'm excited to see it alongside Jewels for the Emperor Penguin! Another reason to back the campaign and promote it to your network.

[Marcin Zarycki @ZovuGames]

My card game, Frozen Shinies, is on Kickstarter now (along with another game, Jewels for the Emperor Penguin). If you're looking for a quick and easy card game that still has meaningful choices, check out Frozen Shinies! https://t.co/87LEyWOEx0

@CaHSRA @AlstomUSA @SiemensUSA Choose the vendor with a proven track record for reliability of 220mph train sets. Make us all forget the decades-long construction delays by launching highly reliable operations.
