		<description><![CDATA[We all remember the scary images of a section of the Bay Bridge upper deck collapsing like a trap door 20 years ago when the Loma Prieta earthquake shook the Bay Area. Now we can see how the new East Span of the Bay Bridge is expected to perform in a big earthquake. Caltrans has posted a computer animated video on its Web [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have to thank David Vartanoff for calling my attention to my neglect of one of the area&#8217;s biggest transportation infrastructure disasters since a Mac Arthur Maze ramp went down in flames 13 months ago. He called my attention to my favorite BART website, www.bartrage.com, where no fewer than 29 comments had been posted about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I accosted several of my colleagues and asked them if they&#8217;d miss 2007. The answer was pretty much &#8220;no&#8221; all around, with the most convincing story coming from a person who&#8217;d bought a house with a sub-prime mortgage. In the area of transportation, especially in the Bay Area, I&#8217;d have to say 2007 was a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many thanks to the AAA of Northern California for sending me a concise roundup of all the driving-related state laws kicking in in 2008. First and foremost is the one that has probably led to more confusion than the last 100 California ballot measures. I confess that just prior to July 1 of this year, I thought we [...]]]></description>

Never mind that I’ve been married for 19 years and four months, I just don’t like to say yes to something and then find out that something else is more pressing and disappoint someone. Still, I found myself exiting the Montgomery St. BART/Muni station this afternoon, doing the “talk to the [...]]]></description>

I know this because they interviewed me today for the movie, and it was so cool.

That idea led to a proposal and that proposal led to a big bureaucracy that, whatever its faults, got the job accomplished. Such is the case with the Bay Area Rapid Transit District, which was born by an act of the California legislature and governor [...]]]></description>

And like all good politicians, California Transportation Commission member Marian Bergeson will attempt to bask in Kempton&#8217;s recent glory by skydiving with him. Kempton, 60, [...]]]></description>

Arnold Schwarzenegger promised, it will be one of those grin-and-grab ribbon-cutting events that political strategists live for. But as a news story, the Great Maze Disaster has turned into the Medium Traffic Concern. That says a lot about the response to the gasoline tanker fire that make such great video [...]]]></description>
