One of #Berkeley’s less welcoming addresses. This building at 1915 Delaware Street has been empty for years — 10? 15? — and was a poster child for the recently approved ballot measure to tax some vacant residential properties. #housing

@BerkeleyScanner Cedar Rose Park's one is even worse! Particularly astounding if you contrast the @CityofBerkeley's investment in our parks with the facilities offered by the @CityofAlbanyCA. Their parks have beautiful bathrooms, mosaic artwork, new playgrounds, modern waste/recycling bins, etc.

This is upsetting for many reasons.

Oakland has bike lanes on Shattuck. They end at the Berkeley border.

We need protected bike lanes on this portion of Shattuck to safely connect people to Berkeley’s bike boulevards (Woolsey & Russell)!

Read our latest @Dear_Berkeley article and find out how you can help the #CityofBerkeley create a compassionate option for people experiencing #homelessness where they can have a #tinyhome and live w/ dignity & services as they wait for permanent housing. https://t.co/gntF0lGsip

If you want to change the world, you can start by creating a bike lane. Announcing BICI, a partnership of @bloombergdotorg and @GlobalCities, offering 10 cities grants up to $1M to build the next generation of innovative cycling infrastructure. https://t.co/abYLLUvHxj
