I wonder if this is really a done deal? BART is advertsing a survey about this issue.

I guess it never ends, does it.

That one is for Antioch. We did the Pittsburg one. I only have power to ask for it in Pittsburg,

I remember during the late 80's, Mt. Diablo State Park was going to start charging an entrance fee for bicycles. So a bunch of us riders wrote letters to our state reps, telling them how unjustified this fee was ... and we won! I think that was probably the only time in my life that I got an elected official to listen to me, so it stands out in my mind as an example of successfully "fighting city hall", so to speak.
To this day, I don't believe there's an entrance fee for bikes, but it's been at least 10 years since I've been back there. Congrats on your victory. Sweet, isn't it?

Congrats! Sometimes good tings happen.
I went to a meeting Friday with the Contra Costa Transit Authority. I had made a couple of videos about the horrible bike infrastructure at Antioch's Hillcreast BART.
Yesterday they said they actually do exactly what I suggested; move the bike path to next to the sidewalk and get it out from between car lanes. Plus add a better signal.
I am amazed and thrilled.
My first video that helped a little
Followup video that got the job done.
