		<description><![CDATA[Last night I watched &#8220;The Amazing Mrs. Prichard,&#8221; a British television series about a grocery store manager who become prime minister of the UK  because of that longing many of us have for our leaders to use common-sense governance. As one might expect, much of the drama comes from home-grown logic colliding headlong with the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I must confess that I&#8217;m one of those people who is both fascinated and frightened by bridges. Maybe it&#8217;s my acrophobia, although in my defense I must say it&#8217;s not exactly against human nature to fear falling from a high place, prehistoric cliff dwellers notwithstanding. Then again, there&#8217;s the fact that I&#8217;m a relative newbie [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just received a news release from Newark Democratic Sen. Alberto Torrico, announcing success for legislation to speed up construction of HOT lanes through the Sunol Grade along I-680. What are HOT lanes, you might ask? They&#8217;re basically carpool lanes that allow carpools to drive free and toll-payers to drive solo. The idea is to make full [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the occasion of the recent 50th anniversary of the creation of the BART bureaucracy, I noted the prescience of members of the commission that decided the Bay Area really needed a rapid transit system. They said that new freeways, which Los Angeles had pinned its hopes on, could not solve traffic congestion by themselves. Now BART is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While free public transportation offered on Spare the Air days was an experiment in social engineering with mixed results (10 percent jump in ridership, but disappointing smog prevention for the high cost), this afternoon we are about to see a much more compelling combination of carrot and stick getting cars off the roads. It&#8217;s the sort of scenario that transit [...]]]></description>

NOTE: While it&#8217;s not uncommon for public agencies to foot the bill for lunch at informational briefing for officials and the press, the host of this particular one, Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty, informed me on April 13 that he had paid for this lunch [...]]]></description>

They&#8217;re always saying that transit subsidies aren&#8217;t so bad when you consider the hidden cost of roads and freeways. Well, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Responding to my rather light-hearted story was an angry commuter named David, who I assume commutes on Interstate 580 through the Livermore Valley. He seemed to find Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty&#8216;s angst over 2 p.m. traffic on 580 to show the Metropolitan Transportation Commission member (and this reporter, by extension) to be out [...]]]></description>

If the feds are totally behind this idea, it could be the best friend public transportation ever had, even [...]]]></description>

Transportation people in this town (Yeah, you know who you are&#8230;) have told me on more than one occasion that one reason it&#8217;s easy [...]]]></description>
