She welcomes the rules, but says she doesn’t like the timeline, which doesn’t require the unsafe rail cars to be phased out until October, 2017. “It’s just going to happen too slowly and for too small a part of the hazardous shipments that we have on the rails.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Earthjustice \u003ca href=\"http://earthjustice.org/sites/default/files/files/PetitionforEmergencyOrderReBakkenCrudeRailCars.pdf\">filed a petition\u003c/a> asking for older rail cars to be phased out immediately. \u003ca href=\"http://www.caloes.ca.gov/HazardousMaterials/Pages/Oil-By-Rail.aspx\">According to California officials\u003c/a>, as much as 82 percent of crude oil shipped in the U.S. — including the Bakken crude — is carried in old tank cars that cannot protect against explosions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trains delivered more than six million barrels of oil to California \u003ca href=\"http://energyalmanac.ca.gov/petroleum/statistics/2013_crude_by_rail.html\">last year\u003c/a>, from North Dakota, Alberta, Wyoming and other western states. State officials project that by 2016, the amount of crude traveling into California by train could surpass 100 million barrels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huston said the regulations are just one piece of improving crude-by-rail safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also have to provide better training for our first responders,” he said. “We should expand our hazardous materials response capability in the state, and we should look at regulating and inspecting the railroads more closely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California recently hired more rail safety inspectors. Huston said the OES is now evaluating what training the hazardous materials response teams need, and whether the teams are located in the best places to respond if there were an oil train accident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Association of American Railroads, an industry group, said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.aar.org/newsandevents/Press-Releases/Pages/AAR-Responds-to-US-DOT-Proposed-Rule-on-Safety-of-Moving-Flammable-Liquids-by-Rail.aspx#.U8_7C7GU58E\">statement\u003c/a> it’s reviewing the D.O.T.’s proposals. A spokesman for the Western States Petroleum Association, which represents oil refiners, said they needed more time to review the regulations before commenting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The D.O.T. is now \u003ca href=\"http://www.dot.gov/briefing-room/us-dot-announces-comprehensive-proposed-rulemaking-safe-transportation-crude-oil\">accepting public comment\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

After the disaster in Lac-Mégantic, \u003ca href=\"https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/railsafety/tsb-2014-962.html\">Canada required\u003c/a> that the most dangerous of the cars — the same tank cars that carry as much as 82 percent of crude oil in the U.S. — be removed from service, and that the rest be retrofitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. is considering stricter tank car standards. Last week, the advocacy group Earthjustice sent a \u003ca href=\"http://earthjustice.org/sites/default/files/files/PetitionforEmergencyOrderReBakkenCrudeRailCars.pdf\">letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation\u003c/a>, urging the agency to move faster by issuing an emergency order immediately banning the use of the unsafe cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California can’t require any of this. The CPUC intends to urge the DOT to “move expeditiously” to update its tank car regulations. That, and other recommendations, are laid out in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.caloes.ca.gov/HazardousMaterials/Pages/Oil-By-Rail.aspx\">recent report on crude-by-rail\u003c/a> safety in the state. The state wants the feds to require that there be newer braking technology on oil trains and a GPS-based system that prevents accidents on oil train routes. According to King, the CPUC will submit those recommendations to the Federal Railroad Administration soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The railroads have already adopted some \u003ca href=\"https://www.aar.org/newsandevents/Press-Releases/Pages/Freight-Railroads-Join-U-S-Transportation-Secretary-Foxx-in-Announcing-Industry-Crude-By-Rail-Safety-Initiative.aspx#.U8huG7GU58E\">voluntary safety measures\u003c/a>, including lower speed limits and increased track inspections. And Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, the company that is currently transporting large amounts of Bakken crude in California, is asking railcar manufacturers to submit bids to build 5,000 safer cars. (The railroads typically don’t own the cars used to ship material; the oil companies themselves either own or lease them.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC has done one of the main things it can: hire more railroad safety inspectors. The CPUC keeps a list of the most hazardous sections of track, and according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/NR/rdonlyres/06621650-B00C-42F5-ABA2-AE617FF39392/0/RailroadLocalSafetyHazardAnnualReportfor2013Final7114.pdf\">a recent report\u003c/a>, the most frequent cause of derailments at those sites are track problems. The new state budget adds seven positions, bringing the CPUC’s inspection staff to 38. CPUC staff checks all the tracks in California once a year and, going forward, will check the tracks on Bakken oil train routes twice a year.[contextly_sidebar id=”sRuVMXrfcyA2EbJyn8ugfGCUznnKPsll”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Past Disaster\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California once tried to introduce stricter railroad regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, 1991, a train derailed in Northern California at a bend in the track where it crosses the Upper Sacramento River, near the town of Dunsmuir. It spilled 19,000 gallons of a pesticide called metam sodium into the river.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It killed everything down to the bacteria,” said Mark Stopher, who was hired by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to assess the damage to the river.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poison killed more than a million fish, and every insect and plant in the river for 40 miles. “Nobody’s ever seen anything like that before,” he said. In \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/k4UucmnSXSo\">video\u003c/a> from the time, you can see fish struggling to escape the river and get into tributaries. Stopher said they all died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was kind of a blow to the heart to lose the river,” said Phil Dietrich, executive director of a conservation group called River Exchange.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Upper Sacramento had been a popular fishing destination. So when the fish were gone, the tourists, and their money, disappeared too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was a pulse of poison; metam sodium doesn’t linger. A few years later, the fish were back. The tourists are back, too. It could have been worse, if what spilled had been a substance that lasts in the environment for a longer time. Oil, for instance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the accident, the CPUC tried to require stronger track at Cantara Loop, to keep it from happening again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were trying to adopt regulations where there were none,” said King. But they couldn’t. The railroad sued the CPUC, and eventually the court sided with the railroad, reinforcing the Federal Railroad Administration’s jurisdiction. There is a large rail in place on the bridge now, to help keep trains from derailing into the river. According to the CPUC, there have been four derailments in the area since 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our role is limited,” King said. “Our role is to ensure that the regulations that the federal government has in place are followed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Beefing Up Clean-Up \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the the state can’t do all it wants to keep an accident from happening, it can prepare to respond to one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, dozens of fire fighters, public health experts and Red Cross volunteers gathered near Cantara Loop to run a drill. The scenario was that an oil train had collided with an illegal marijuana grower’s truck at the site of the ’91 spill. The truck wrecked, and the train derailed and spilled oil into the river. \u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters pulled the casualties (volunteers marked with paint) away from the scene, a helicopter brought tools to treat people who’d been doused in dangerous chemicals and a team deployed a drone to get a view of the (largely imaginary) disaster scene from above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to make sure California’s prepared to respond,” said Alexia Rettalack of California’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR). “Spills happen. When product moves, things happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OSPR got more money in this year’s budget, so that it can prepare for inland oil spills. Until now, the agency focused only on marine accidents. The state Office of Emergency Services is also looking for ways to better prepare emergency responders, many of whom are volunteers, for an oil train explosion. And state lawmakers are considering a couple of crude-by-rail bills that would improve emergency responses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dietrich emphasizes that what happened in Dunsmuir in 1991 was a rare event, and yet, the memory lingers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It comes down to we care about our river and about our towns,” he said. “And we hope that the agencies and the railroad are on top of it.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

The state Office of Emergency Services is also looking for ways to better prepare emergency responders, many of whom are volunteers, for an oil train explosion. And state lawmakers are considering a couple of crude-by-rail bills that would improve emergency responses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dietrich emphasizes that what happened in Dunsmuir in 1991 was a rare event, and yet, the memory lingers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Shuttles will use the white zones at locations where Muni stops are too busy to handle private buses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $1 fee had to be revised after SFMTA officials realized the costs of the project were going to be more than the $1.6 million originally anticipated, and that the number of stops per day was fewer than expected -- only 2,449 were requested from shuttle providers, 40 percent less than anticipated, SFMTA officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One objection raised at today's meeting was from the Mission Bay Transit Management Association, which operates small shuttles that run to and from the Mission Bay neighborhood, which they said was mandated by the city's redevelopment plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shuttles run between the Caltrain station, the Powell Street BART station and the Mission Bay neighborhood and are intended as a first-and-last-stop solution for people who have few transit options for getting there, said Corinne Woods of the Mission Bay Citizens Advisory Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mission Bay TMA is a nonprofit enterprise that charges a fee to property owners to operate the service. Mission Bay has seen a huge influx of new residents and businesses recently but still has few public transit options, \"so the shuttle service is really critical,\" Woods said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several speakers argued the Mission Bay shuttles should not be charged the same fees as the large corporate buses operating regionally and that the proposed fee increase could cripple the shuttle service's operating budget. SFMTA board Chairman Tom Nolan said the speakers \"raised a good point.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carli Paine, an SFMTA transportation manager, said about 80 percent of shuttles using Muni stops take passengers to destinations within San Francisco, while the other 20 percent take passengers to destinations outside the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said they looked into the possibility of a tiered pricing system for different kinds of shuttles, but that the San Francisco City Attorney's office advised them that was not permitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics argue the shuttles take up city resources and impact rents in San Francisco by encouraging highly paid workers to move there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sara Shortt, who is named as a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the program, said at today's meeting that the increased fees were \"a step in the right direction.\" But she questioned whether they would be enough to cover enforcement costs. Shortt said those costs rise as the buses use parking spots or idle in the street rather than bus stops, to avoid paying the fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emily Loper, a policy associate for the Bay Area Council praised today's decision, saying that the commuter shuttles are \"innovative transportation\" that take cars off the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The benefits are immense,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Shuttles will use the white zones at locations where Muni stops are too busy to handle private buses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $1 fee had to be revised after SFMTA officials realized the costs of the project were going to be more than the $1.6 million originally anticipated, and that the number of stops per day was fewer than expected -- only 2,449 were requested from shuttle providers, 40 percent less than anticipated, SFMTA officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One objection raised at today's meeting was from the Mission Bay Transit Management Association, which operates small shuttles that run to and from the Mission Bay neighborhood, which they said was mandated by the city's redevelopment plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shuttles run between the Caltrain station, the Powell Street BART station and the Mission Bay neighborhood and are intended as a first-and-last-stop solution for people who have few transit options for getting there, said Corinne Woods of the Mission Bay Citizens Advisory Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mission Bay TMA is a nonprofit enterprise that charges a fee to property owners to operate the service. Mission Bay has seen a huge influx of new residents and businesses recently but still has few public transit options, \"so the shuttle service is really critical,\" Woods said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several speakers argued the Mission Bay shuttles should not be charged the same fees as the large corporate buses operating regionally and that the proposed fee increase could cripple the shuttle service's operating budget. SFMTA board Chairman Tom Nolan said the speakers \"raised a good point.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carli Paine, an SFMTA transportation manager, said about 80 percent of shuttles using Muni stops take passengers to destinations within San Francisco, while the other 20 percent take passengers to destinations outside the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said they looked into the possibility of a tiered pricing system for different kinds of shuttles, but that the San Francisco City Attorney's office advised them that was not permitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics argue the shuttles take up city resources and impact rents in San Francisco by encouraging highly paid workers to move there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sara Shortt, who is named as a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the program, said at today's meeting that the increased fees were \"a step in the right direction.\" But she questioned whether they would be enough to cover enforcement costs. Shortt said those costs rise as the buses use parking spots or idle in the street rather than bus stops, to avoid paying the fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emily Loper, a policy associate for the Bay Area Council praised today's decision, saying that the commuter shuttles are \"innovative transportation\" that take cars off the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The benefits are immense,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

You can go in circles for hours while a lucky driver can find a spot in a minute, right in front of you. It is an old and painful problem, and we believe that drivers deserve a better solution.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Earlier the company had \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/06/27/monkeyparking-san-francisco-cease-and-desist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">argued that it was selling “information”\u003c/a> about parking spaces rather than the spaces themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On June 23, San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera sent a letter to MonkeyParking threatening to sue the company if the app wasn’t removed by the close of business this Friday, July 11. Herrera wrote that the app violates a San Francisco ordinance that forbids renting, leasing or selling street or sidewalk space. MonkeyParking would have been subject to penalties of up to $300 per violation and potentially liable for $2,500 per violation in civil penalties under California’s Unfair Competition Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The MonkeyParking app, as downloaded from the iTunes App Store in June, was explicit about what users were buying and selling. A setup screen says, “Make up to $150/month by selling your on-street parking spots.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Not parents. Not our neighborhood small businesses. Not me,” Lee said. “Let’s stop nickel-and-diming people at the meter and work together to pass a transportation bond and vehicle license fee increase in 2014 instead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, as Goebel reported, a \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/2014/03/20/contrary-to-ed-lee-records-show-no-popular-revolt-against-sunday-meters/\" target=\"_blank\">post by SF Streetsblog\u003c/a> in March described a distinct lack of documented public backlash against the policy:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>(Records) furnished to Streetsblog by Ed Rosenblatt, a hardware store merchant who supports Sunday meters and filed the request, indicate that no one emailed the mayor’s office about Sunday meters between March, 2013, and this January, when Lee announced his push to repeal them. What’s more, of the January emails, 17 were in support of keeping the parking meters, and only seven were against it. The policy is also supported by many merchants and the Chamber of Commerce since it allows more driving customers to use the limited supply of parking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The purported Sunday meter revolt was also not evident in calls and emails to 311. According to the SFMTA’s December report [PDF] on Sunday meters, 311 received just 41 calls and emails about the policy, with 23 of those in support of meters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, calls and emails aren’t the only ways to complain to City Hall. But if there’s really a popular revolt driving Lee’s sudden push to undo smart policy, you would expect to find some trace of it in the easiest ways to lodge a complaint with the city. And there is no such trace.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The post did note, however, that church leaders strongly backed ditching paid parking on Sundays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event, the debate is all over now. The SFMTA voted in April to go back to the old ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So save that lose change for doing laundry.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Not parents. Not our neighborhood small businesses. Not me,” Lee said. “Let’s stop nickel-and-diming people at the meter and work together to pass a transportation bond and vehicle license fee increase in 2014 instead.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, as Goebel reported, a \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/2014/03/20/contrary-to-ed-lee-records-show-no-popular-revolt-against-sunday-meters/\" target=\"_blank\">post by SF Streetsblog\u003c/a> in March described a distinct lack of documented public backlash against the policy:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>(Records) furnished to Streetsblog by Ed Rosenblatt, a hardware store merchant who supports Sunday meters and filed the request, indicate that no one emailed the mayor’s office about Sunday meters between March, 2013, and this January, when Lee announced his push to repeal them. What’s more, of the January emails, 17 were in support of keeping the parking meters, and only seven were against it. The policy is also supported by many merchants and the Chamber of Commerce since it allows more driving customers to use the limited supply of parking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The purported Sunday meter revolt was also not evident in calls and emails to 311. According to the SFMTA’s December report [PDF] on Sunday meters, 311 received just 41 calls and emails about the policy, with 23 of those in support of meters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, calls and emails aren’t the only ways to complain to City Hall. But if there’s really a popular revolt driving Lee’s sudden push to undo smart policy, you would expect to find some trace of it in the easiest ways to lodge a complaint with the city. And there is no such trace.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The post did note, however, that church leaders strongly backed ditching paid parking on Sundays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event, the debate is all over now.

The park was once the site of an extensive logging operation that supplied building materials for the Bay Area. Now there are dense groves of thriving second-growth redwoods tucked along the creeks, mixed with oak and bay trees. Sticky monkey flower alternates with sagebrush on open slopes. The 7.9-mile French Trail loop is a single-track favorite among hikers, though there are many easy ways to shorten the hike. If you’re looking for longer, you could easily plan a route that would take you 20+ miles.
