Tony Anziano, the toll bridge program manager for Caltrans, explained that when the vertical rods snapped, it forced the bolts attached to the rods upward. There was no failure in the bolts themselves. The rods are part of the bridge's seismic stability design and are not responsible for holding the weight of the bridge. They are meant to prevent the bridge's deck from jolting upward and disconnecting from the massive pillars that support it in the event of a major earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The questionable rods were discovered on a pillar close to Treasure Island, but only 96 of the potentially 277 affected rods are accessible to work crews. Others are embedded in concrete. That means Caltrans won't be able to replace all the rods and is considering other design options for seismic stability. One possibility is a collar to prevent upward movement of the deck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials refused to discuss how much changing course would cost, but did say their budget includes room for setbacks like this one.

Tony Anziano, the toll bridge program manager for Caltrans, explained that when the vertical rods snapped, it forced the bolts attached to the rods upward. There was no failure in the bolts themselves. The rods are part of the bridge's seismic stability design and are not responsible for holding the weight of the bridge. They are meant to prevent the bridge's deck from jolting upward and disconnecting from the massive pillars that support it in the event of a major earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The questionable rods were discovered on a pillar close to Treasure Island, but only 96 of the potentially 277 affected rods are accessible to work crews. Others are embedded in concrete. That means Caltrans won't be able to replace all the rods and is considering other design options for seismic stability. One possibility is a collar to prevent upward movement of the deck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials refused to discuss how much changing course would cost, but did say their budget includes room for setbacks like this one.

But broadcast reports combine data from the public, law enforcement, road sensors, online maps and aircraft surveillance. After more than 25 years in the traffic business, McConnell says radio is still the ultimate, hands-free app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are other ways to find out what’s going on, but you have to take your eyes off the road to figure them out,” McConnell says. A radio report is \"free; you don’t have to pay for it. And it’s the most immediate. We can tell you exactly what’s going on from all possible sources, the best we can possibly tell you. It’s still going to be the most up-to-date information you can get.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today McConnell's workload is mostly news, feeding Total Traffic’s national radio service. He records news updates for stations in Tennessee, Wisconsin and South Carolina, as well as a national news update. Stations download these reports from a server, though it’s unclear so far how many listeners receive this relatively new service. And the workload keeps growing, now including business and consumer news updates for Clear Channel’s streaming service iHeartRadio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think over the years there have been some people who have run out of this job screaming,” McConnell laughs, “but I’ve stayed. I guess I’m just one of these people who, once I find a comfortable niche and I find something I’m really good at I just tend to do it. Because there's not that many things that I am good at. I’m not very good with a screwdriver or a hammer, and I’m no great business genius. But I’m good at this stuff. I enjoy the craft of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a typical weekday morning, there’s almost no way for any traffic report to mention every single incident or accident. But the information available to McConnell and other traffic reporters is far richer than is once was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People would be listening to their radios in 1988, not hearing me (not mention a major incident) and they would say, ‘What’s wrong with him? Why doesn’t he know that?’” McConnell recalls. “Well, it’s because there’s no plane that happened to be flying over at that moment. ... I would not have known that without an airplane flying over it in the olden days.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days McConnell lives in Sonoma: a good place to unwind from the frantic pace of his job. He says he has no plans to retire, though he wouldn’t turn down a winning lottery ticket. Until then, at least his ever-more-hectic job lets him fully be himself these days – he used to do radio traffic under three different names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was Joe Vincent on KGO,” McConnell says, “and I was Rocky Dolemite on (what is now) KNBR 1050. But now these days I’m just Joe McConnell. Just plain old Joe.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

But broadcast reports combine data from the public, law enforcement, road sensors, online maps and aircraft surveillance. After more than 25 years in the traffic business, McConnell says radio is still the ultimate, hands-free app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are other ways to find out what’s going on, but you have to take your eyes off the road to figure them out,” McConnell says. A radio report is \"free; you don’t have to pay for it. And it’s the most immediate. We can tell you exactly what’s going on from all possible sources, the best we can possibly tell you. It’s still going to be the most up-to-date information you can get.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today McConnell's workload is mostly news, feeding Total Traffic’s national radio service. He records news updates for stations in Tennessee, Wisconsin and South Carolina, as well as a national news update. Stations download these reports from a server, though it’s unclear so far how many listeners receive this relatively new service. And the workload keeps growing, now including business and consumer news updates for Clear Channel’s streaming service iHeartRadio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think over the years there have been some people who have run out of this job screaming,” McConnell laughs, “but I’ve stayed. I guess I’m just one of these people who, once I find a comfortable niche and I find something I’m really good at I just tend to do it. Because there's not that many things that I am good at. I’m not very good with a screwdriver or a hammer, and I’m no great business genius. But I’m good at this stuff. I enjoy the craft of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a typical weekday morning, there’s almost no way for any traffic report to mention every single incident or accident. But the information available to McConnell and other traffic reporters is far richer than is once was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People would be listening to their radios in 1988, not hearing me (not mention a major incident) and they would say, ‘What’s wrong with him? Why doesn’t he know that?’” McConnell recalls. “Well, it’s because there’s no plane that happened to be flying over at that moment. ... I would not have known that without an airplane flying over it in the olden days.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days McConnell lives in Sonoma: a good place to unwind from the frantic pace of his job. He says he has no plans to retire, though he wouldn’t turn down a winning lottery ticket. Until then, at least his ever-more-hectic job lets him fully be himself these days – he used to do radio traffic under three different names.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was Joe Vincent on KGO,” McConnell says, “and I was Rocky Dolemite on (what is now) KNBR 1050. But now these days I’m just Joe McConnell. Just plain old Joe.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It's a long way from the days when to ride on BART, cyclists had to go down and apply in person for a permit at the Lake Merritt Station--but only during certain hours. When you paid your fee, you got a little green BART bike permit. To ride a train, you had to show the permit to the station agent before you went through the fare gates. And it seemed like the agents would always find a reason to bark at you about something: \"Use the stairs! Not the escalator!\" Oh, yeah—those were the days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system has become much friendlier to cyclists since then. No permits, no fees, no scoldings from the agents. And next week's rush-hour bike trial aims to answer questions about what will happen if cyclists can get on any train any time they want, even when BART is crammed with commuters. Not to get too carried away, the rush-hour bike trial \u003cem>will\u003c/em> have some rules. Perhaps most important: no bikes in the first \u003cem>three\u003c/em> cars of a train during the heaviest commute hours (the usual rule is the lead car is off-limits on all trains).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_91541\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/03/bikesonbart.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-91541\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/03/bikesonbart-300x225.jpg\" alt='A bicyclist during the first \"bikes on BART\" trial program on Aug. 10, 2012.

So gauging rider feedback on attitudes towards bicyclists trying to squeeze into standing-room-only train cars during rush hour will be a key measure of success, and BART will ask passengers to take a survey (on the agency's \u003ca href=\"http://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2013/news20130306.aspx\">website\u003c/a>)about their experience during the pilot week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART ran a \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/02/15/should-bart-end-its-commuter-hour-blackout-for-bikes/\">similar test\u003c/a> allowing bikes on trains during rush hour during Fridays last August, and said feedback was 90 percent positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART Bike Program Manager Steve Beroldo says the system has practical reasons to encourage more biking to and from stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We know our ridership's going to be increasing in the future, and our parking lots are full,\" Beroldo said. \"Folks are going to need a way to get to BART.

Not the escalator!\" Oh, yeah—those were the days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system has become much friendlier to cyclists since then. No permits, no fees, no scoldings from the agents. And next week's rush-hour bike trial aims to answer questions about what will happen if cyclists can get on any train any time they want, even when BART is crammed with commuters. Not to get too carried away, the rush-hour bike trial \u003cem>will\u003c/em> have some rules. Perhaps most important: no bikes in the first \u003cem>three\u003c/em> cars of a train during the heaviest commute hours (the usual rule is the lead car is off-limits on all trains).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_91541\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/03/bikesonbart.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-91541\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/03/bikesonbart-300x225.jpg\" alt='A bicyclist during the first \"bikes on BART\" trial program on Aug. 10, 2012.
