		<description><![CDATA[Riders on the 6 and 71 know how slow the inbound Haight Street commute is now, thanks to the multi-block detour inbound to avoid the one-way section of Haight. Today, the SFMTA is holding a community meeting (at 6pm-7:30pm at Caffe Trieste, 1667 Market) to discuss an obvious fix: restore two-way traffic on Haight, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After years of community involvement, the SFMTA is about to review proposed changes to the street design for Masonic Avenue. This would create a boulevard-style street with zero parking, raised cycle tracks, and bus bulb-outs at major intersections, and also would reduce the current six and seven lanes of traffic to four from Geary all [...]]]></description>

The SFMTA just approved changes to Hayes Street, (pdf) making it a two way street between Gough and Van Ness &#8211; but despite the heavy commute hour traffic, did not include any changes to the 21-Hayes routing nor any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Chronicle editorializes against congestion pricing today, calling the plan &#8220;half-baked&#8221; despite ample experience elsequere in the world (London, Singapore, Stockholm) that congestion pricing reduces traffic and speeds up mass transit. The Chronicle even cites increased transit usage as a disadvantage of the plan! To quote: &#8220;[T]he second intended effect &#8211; nudging drivers into public [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Chronicle&#8217;s CW Nevius predictably takes the anti-congestion pricing side of this debate in the Chronicle today, arguing that the problem with traffic isn&#8217;t all of those pesky auto drivers in cars, it&#8217;s the mass transit systems that don&#8217;t provide better alternatives to driving. Of course Nevius makes a good point, one that we have [...]]]></description>
