CARB has adopted diesel engine rules meant to cut down on particulate pollution, a major health concern for communities near ports, freeways and railyards. (You can read the entire text of \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB 1 here\u003c/a>; search for “Sec. 18” to read the truck provision.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 1 is also chock-full of provisions that environmentalists like, including substantial investments in public transit and for projects that will promote walking and bicycling. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with the truck provision certain to become law, environmental groups sounded a bittersweet note about legislation that includes so much they agree with. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A handful of representative samples, by way of prepared statements:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From Amanda Eaken, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council’s transportation and climate program:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>It took a lot of hard work to get this package across the finish line, and the transit, walking and biking investments will benefit millions of Californians. But legislators shouldn’t be forced to choose between much-needed transit investments and clean air — especially in vulnerable communities. This package hands a windfall victory to dirty diesel and puts thousands of families at risk for asthma, cancers and other illnesses for decades to come. And this occurred because of a late-night, backroom deal where public health was traded for votes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians expect more. People don’t need to suffer – and dirty diesel shouldn’t get a free pass – just to get the investments we need to fix our roads and improve clean transportation options.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From Joshua Stark, from transit advocacy group TransForm:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>SB 1 will do some great things for California and our transportation system, and it breaks my heart that we couldn’t support it. We like that it sends a fair share of the money raised towards public transportation and safe walking and biking, but it also includes an unacceptable loophole to allow big trucks to keep polluting vulnerable communities. We couldn’t support a deal that sacrifices public health for public transportation — California needs both. …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… We’re proud that a diverse coalition of more than 80 groups committed to environmental justice, climate protection, and sustainable transportation stood in solidarity throughout this process. Together we will keep fighting to reverse this “dirty trucking” policy and ensure that the communities most burdened by pollution from transportation benefit from the state’s investments in transportation.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>*** \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other deals — we don’t know whether they were cut in back rooms or not — proved instrumental to SB 1’s passage. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both involved persuading reluctant legislators — a Democratic assemblywoman and senator from the Inland Empire , one Republican senator from the San Joaquin Valley — to vote yes on the bill. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The details are embodied in \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVersionsCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB132&cversion=20170SB13299INT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB 132\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill, yet to be passed, would direct $500 million for projects that will benefit the district of state Sen. Anthony Cannella, a Republican from the Stanislaus County town of Ceres. The legislation provides another $427 million for work in the area represented by Assemblywoman Sabrina Cervantes, D-Corona, and Sen. Richard Roth, D-Riverside. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money for Merced-area projects includes $100 million for building a new road from UC Merced to Highway 99. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rest of the cash — $400 million — would go to pay for expanding the Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) train service to Merced and Ceres. ACE currently runs from San Jose to Stockton. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ACE train is a big deal for me. It’s important for my district,” Cannella told the Los Angeles Times earlier this week. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a game-changer for my area,” he said. “If it’s built, you can hop on a train and make your way to the Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Riverside Press-Enterprise \u003ca href=\"http://www.pe.com/articles/gas-829075-billion-sacramento.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported\u003c/a>, Cervantes was the target of a California Republican Party campaign to get her to vote no on SB 1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she and her fellow Democrat, Roth, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pe.com/articles/infrastructure-829120-cities-transportation.html\">agreed to vote for the package\u003c/a> after striking an agreement for the state to restore vehicle-license fee revenue to several local communities and pay for several pending freeway, street and bridge projects. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a joint statement, Roth and Cervantes said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For too long, Sacramento has failed to provide Inland Southern California with the resources we deserve. Though this was a difficult vote, the cost of our region not getting its fair share is too high. That is why we went to the table to ensure Inland Southern California’s needs are represented with the vigor and dedication they deserve.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

But legislators shouldn’t be forced to choose between much-needed transit investments and clean air — especially in vulnerable communities. This package hands a windfall victory to dirty diesel and puts thousands of families at risk for asthma, cancers and other illnesses for decades to come. And this occurred because of a late-night, backroom deal where public health was traded for votes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians expect more. People don’t need to suffer – and dirty diesel shouldn’t get a free pass – just to get the investments we need to fix our roads and improve clean transportation options.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>From Joshua Stark, from transit advocacy group TransForm:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>SB 1 will do some great things for California and our transportation system, and it breaks my heart that we couldn’t support it. We like that it sends a fair share of the money raised towards public transportation and safe walking and biking, but it also includes an unacceptable loophole to allow big trucks to keep polluting vulnerable communities. We couldn’t support a deal that sacrifices public health for public transportation — California needs both. …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… We’re proud that a diverse coalition of more than 80 groups committed to environmental justice, climate protection, and sustainable transportation stood in solidarity throughout this process. Together we will keep fighting to reverse this “dirty trucking” policy and ensure that the communities most burdened by pollution from transportation benefit from the state’s investments in transportation.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>*** \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other deals — we don’t know whether they were cut in back rooms or not — proved instrumental to SB 1’s passage. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both involved persuading reluctant legislators — a Democratic assemblywoman and senator from the Inland Empire , one Republican senator from the San Joaquin Valley — to vote yes on the bill. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The details are embodied in \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVersionsCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB132&cversion=20170SB13299INT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB 132\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill, yet to be passed, would direct $500 million for projects that will benefit the district of state Sen. Anthony Cannella, a Republican from the Stanislaus County town of Ceres. The legislation provides another $427 million for work in the area represented by Assemblywoman Sabrina Cervantes, D-Corona, and Sen. Richard Roth, D-Riverside. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money for Merced-area projects includes $100 million for building a new road from UC Merced to Highway 99. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rest of the cash — $400 million — would go to pay for expanding the Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) train service to Merced and Ceres. ACE currently runs from San Jose to Stockton. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ACE train is a big deal for me. It’s important for my district,” Cannella told the Los Angeles Times earlier this week. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a game-changer for my area,” he said. “If it’s built, you can hop on a train and make your way to the Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Riverside Press-Enterprise \u003ca href=\"http://www.pe.com/articles/gas-829075-billion-sacramento.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported\u003c/a>, Cervantes was the target of a California Republican Party campaign to get her to vote no on SB 1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she and her fellow Democrat, Roth, \u003ca href=\"http://www.pe.com/articles/infrastructure-829120-cities-transportation.html\">agreed to vote for the package\u003c/a> after striking an agreement for the state to restore vehicle-license fee revenue to several local communities and pay for several pending freeway, street and bridge projects. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a joint statement, Roth and Cervantes said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For too long, Sacramento has failed to provide Inland Southern California with the resources we deserve. Though this was a difficult vote, the cost of our region not getting its fair share is too high.

"content": "\u003cp>The stage is set for a razor close vote at the California Capitol on Thursday on a $52.4 billion transportation funding deal: Since \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Senate Bill 1 would raise taxes it requires a two-thirds vote to pass.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats hold a two-thirds majority in the state Senate and Assembly and they’ll need nearly all of those votes to get their \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1\">transportation bill\u003c/a> through both houses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a rally on Wednesday, Gov. Jerry Brown joined with Senate and Assembly leaders to try to push the measure across the finish line. He says while there are a lot of issues in Sacramento that lawmakers can put off, transportation infrastructure isn’t one of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to fixing roads that are falling apart, or that bridge down there in Monterey County that no longer can support a car, you gotta do it now,” Brown said. “And if you don’t do it, it gets more expensive next year, and the year after.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cost of providing emergency fixes to the state highway system has been on an upward trend for the last few years.

Jerry Brown and Democratic leaders of the state Legislature unveiled a plan Wednesday to raise $52.4 billion over the next decade to pay for a massive program of rebuilding California's highways and bridges and improving public transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan would be paid for with a combination of revenue measures: an increase in the state's excise tax on gasoline from 28 cents to 40 cents a gallon, increased vehicle registration fees and a new $100 annual charge on emission-free vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let's be clear -- our roads suck,\" said Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, a Los Angeles Democrat, one of those who unveiled the plan during a media event on the steps of the State Capitol. \"Our bridges are crumbling. Traffic takes time away from our families. ... Potholes take money out of our wallets. Delays cost businesses money and raise prices for consumers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan was embraced by public transportation agencies, who noted that it could provide about $1 billion a year for local and regional transit agencies and $100 million annually for bicycling and pedestrian infrastructure. That infusion of dollars would come as the Trump administration is suggesting \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/03/16/trump-transportation-plan-could-derail-bay-area-transit-projects/\" target=\"_blank\">killing a major federal grant program\u003c/a> for transit. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That guarantee of new transit funding \"would have a huge impact,\" said Rebecca Saltzman, president of the BART board of directors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Especially with the uncertainty of federal funds, this would be big for BART and all the transit agencies in the state,\" Saltzman said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new state proposal, still under development as SB 1 by state Sen. Jim Beall, D-San Jose, could also help pay for Caltrain's $2 billion electrification project. The Peninsula rail agency is awaiting word on whether the Trump administration will move forward with a $647 million grant that the U.S. Department of Transportation had approved in January, just days before President Barack Obama left office. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carl Guardino, CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group and a member of the California Transportation Commission, said Beall's proposal would include funding for relieving congestion in \"corridors of significance\" throughout the state. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of those corridors of significance is Highway 101,\" Guardino said. \"That's not only road improvements on Highway 101, it is improvements like Caltrain electrification. We can't forget that three out of every five passengers on Caltrain are choice riders -- they own cars, but they're choosing to get out of their own cars and ride Caltrain, taking traffic off 101, 280 and all those surface streets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4>State Transportation and Infrastructure Plan: Some Fine Print\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The plan unveiled Wednesday by Gov.

Jerry Brown\u003c/a>\u003c/small>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Brown argued during Wednesday's announcement that the revenue plan, to be backed up by a state constitutional amendment that would require proceeds from revenue measures to be spent on transportation projects, would ensure that the state takes care of its infrastructure needs on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Jerry Brown and Democratic leaders of the state Legislature unveiled a plan Wednesday to raise $52.4 billion over the next decade to pay for a massive program of rebuilding California's highways and bridges and improving public transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan would be paid for with a combination of revenue measures: an increase in the state's excise tax on gasoline from 28 cents to 40 cents a gallon, increased vehicle registration fees and a new $100 annual charge on emission-free vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let's be clear -- our roads suck,\" said Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, a Los Angeles Democrat, one of those who unveiled the plan during a media event on the steps of the State Capitol. \"Our bridges are crumbling. Traffic takes time away from our families. ... Potholes take money out of our wallets. Delays cost businesses money and raise prices for consumers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan was embraced by public transportation agencies, who noted that it could provide about $1 billion a year for local and regional transit agencies and $100 million annually for bicycling and pedestrian infrastructure.

That date moved back several times. The need to replace electrical power equipment all the way north to Hayward caused one major delay. More recently, difficulties getting the agency’s old train control computer to communicate with the extension’s new data and communications equipment postponed the start of service. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART concedes the opening came well behind schedule, but says the project was completed more than $100 million under its original $890 million budget. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fremont has been the southern terminus for East Bay BART trains since the system’s opening in 1972. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now — get used to boarding a train bound for Warm Springs/South Fremont.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But Fremont Mayor Lily Mei views the landscape a little differently. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re seeing is a field of dreams for us,” Mei said Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city envisions 4,000 housing units in the Warm Springs area and sees future employers adding 20,000 new jobs near the station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday’s ceremony was attended by a mostly happy crowd that came out in the midst of rainy, blustery weather to admire the station’s design — including an art-glass entrance rotunda. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One concern came from Lisamaria Martinez, who is blind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that a feature intended to help the sight-impaired, a raised yellow tactile strip running through the station, is not useful for navigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know where the strip is taking me,” Martinez said. “Is it taking me to the parking station? Is a ticket booth? When I use my ears and listen to the noises around me, I get so much information and can directly go where I need to go, instead of having these little strips \u003cem>assume\u003c/em> I need to go somewhere.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tactile strips also bothered El Cerrito Mayor Janet Abelson. She uses a motorized scooter, and said those strips can be difficult to drive over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, she appreciates the station is equipped with two elevators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If one of them is out of service, I can still get in,” Abelson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART broke ground on the Warm Springs extension, which runs 5.4 miles from central Fremont, in 2009 and originally planned to open it in late 2014. That date moved back several times. The need to replace electrical power equipment all the way north to Hayward caused one major delay. More recently, difficulties getting the agency’s old train control computer to communicate with the extension’s new data and communications equipment postponed the start of service. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART concedes the opening came well behind schedule, but says the project was completed more than $100 million under its original $890 million budget. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fremont has been the southern terminus for East Bay BART trains since the system’s opening in 1972. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now — get used to boarding a train bound for Warm Springs/South Fremont.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Visitors have been blocked from reaching part of the community known for its luxury spas, posh hotels and scenic retreats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Mayer, the bridge closure means a six-hour, round-trip route several times a week to buy goods to stock the shelves. He also had to temporarily lay off 11 of his 16 employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet he's keeping his doors open for locals who need produce, milk and propane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They support me all year long, and I appreciate it,\" Mayer said. \"In the bad times, you've got to try to come through for the people who come through for you all the time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The damaged Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge sits on an active landslide, which pushed out one of two columns holding it up.
