His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The only place to put the crane: in two left-hand lanes of eastbound Highway 24. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both BART and Caltrans are trying to get the word out that travelers, and especially drivers, should prepare for the delays and avoid the area if they can. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do expect that if motorists don't take other routes, we're going to very quickly get to a 30-minute backup that will be 3 miles or more long, almost all the way back to the Caldecott Tunnel,\" Bart Ney, spokesman for Caltrans District 4, said Tuesday. \"That's what we saw when there was a trial run of the work a couple weekends ago.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ney said Caltrans will monitor the backup and has worked out a plan with BART if it's worse than expected. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we see that type of backup again, we can call into them and have them pick up half the closure\" — one lane — and restore the traffic through the area,\" Ney said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART spokesman Chris Filippi said that having to reduce the closure from two lanes to one will affect the project's work schedule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If that happens, it will slow down the work, because we'll have to restage some of the equipment, we'll have to move things around,\" Filippi said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART riders on the Antioch-Millbrae line can also expect long delays getting through Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> On the six weekends where tracks will be completely shut down, no trains will run between the Orinda and Walnut Creek stations.

I mean, just about every bridge approach is stacked up well before dawn, and they often stay that way most of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, my idea of the number one grimmest commute is the westbound trip from San Joaquin County (Stockton, Tracy, Patterson, etc.) across the Altamont Pass on I-580. It’s a long, long journey — a genuine supercommute in Census Bureau lingo — and if you listen to the morning traffic reports, it seems to slow to a crawl by 5 or 5:30 a.m. every day. The trip back east in the evening is epic, too, and many drivers figure they’re going to outsmart the crowd and take to some of the back roads — Tesla/Corral Hollow and Patterson Pass — to get back to the San Joaquin Valley. Problem is those roads are narrow and full of twists and turns, but people are driving them pretty hard anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want a more objective answer to the question, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission ranks the \u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/sites/default/files/top_10_congestion_locations-2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">top 10\u003c/a> and top 50 most congested locations in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765036\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765036\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS5403_015-800x533.jpg\" alt='\"Is it ever going to get better?\" Dan Brekke tackled questions about Bay Area traffic during his Reddit AMA.

It has never really gone well, and the agency that manages federal and state funding for our regional projects — the Metropolitan Transportation Commission — must balance the scores (or hundreds) of local interests that compete for transportation cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Funding is always an issue, too, although Bay Area voters have proved pretty willing to get on board with sales taxes, parcel taxes, higher bridge tolls and other levies to help solve the many challenges we’re facing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there’s the time it takes to get stuff built and online: There’s a consensus that the multiple levels of environmental and other regulatory approvals that are typically needed to build a project take a lot of time and extend the time it takes to build projects and adds to their expense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not always the case, though — the current Caltrain electrification project is an example of a project that secured funding and began work relatively quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Is it ever going to get better?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It will. But don’t ask me when, exactly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m sure we’ve all had the experience of being stuck in freeway traffic for no perceptible reason. But the reason is riding right there in the car with us — especially if you’re a solo driver. This is an incredibly attractive place to live still, even with all the seemingly intractable problems (housing costs, housing availability, homelessness, environmental decline) we face, and the reason we’re stuck in traffic is there are simply too many people just like us who want to be here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not to sermonize too much, things will get better when we all look at what we can do to improve the situation and act on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765042\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765042\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS6029_bartnostrike20130804-800x536.jpg\" alt=\"KQED's resident transit expert, Dan Brekke, answered your Bay Area transit questions, and many of them including questions about the future of BART and potential expansions.\" width=\"800\" height=\"536\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">KQED’s resident transit expert, Dan Brekke, answered your Bay Area transit questions, and many of them were questions about the future of BART and potential expansions. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>How optimistic does it look to get more BART coverage in our lifetime?

The most recent evidence of that change in thinking is the board’s decision to scrap a plan to build an expensive new extension to Livermore. Also, there’s an issue of redundancy — Caltrain is already in the corridor and in the process of beefing up its service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the longer term, maybe the story will be different in the East Bay. As part of the planning for a second transbay crossing — likely a second rail tube — some planners have been sketching out new BART lines that would parallel and supplement the existing service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, you’re not going to wake up tomorrow morning, or probably any morning for years to come, before plans like that become reality.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What is the very best cheese?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Point Reyes Blue.

I mean, just about every bridge approach is stacked up well before dawn, and they often stay that way most of the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, my idea of the number one grimmest commute is the westbound trip from San Joaquin County (Stockton, Tracy, Patterson, etc.) across the Altamont Pass on I-580. It’s a long, long journey — a genuine supercommute in Census Bureau lingo — and if you listen to the morning traffic reports, it seems to slow to a crawl by 5 or 5:30 a.m. every day. The trip back east in the evening is epic, too, and many drivers figure they’re going to outsmart the crowd and take to some of the back roads — Tesla/Corral Hollow and Patterson Pass — to get back to the San Joaquin Valley. Problem is those roads are narrow and full of twists and turns, but people are driving them pretty hard anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want a more objective answer to the question, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission ranks the \u003ca href=\"https://mtc.ca.gov/sites/default/files/top_10_congestion_locations-2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">top 10\u003c/a> and top 50 most congested locations in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11765036\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11765036\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/RS5403_015-800x533.jpg\" alt='\"Is it ever going to get better?\" Dan Brekke tackled questions about Bay Area traffic during his Reddit AMA.

The most recent evidence of that change in thinking is the board’s decision to scrap a plan to build an expensive new extension to Livermore. Also, there’s an issue of redundancy — Caltrain is already in the corridor and in the process of beefing up its service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the longer term, maybe the story will be different in the East Bay.

"content": "\u003cp>My survey was informal and unscientific, but the results were nevertheless definitive: None — not one — of the 20-some BART passengers I queried as they entered or exited Fruitvale Station on a recent weekday afternoon thought the new ticket-gate prototypes would do a thing to prevent fare evasion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought they were going to be higher,” said Don Walker, an Oakland native. “If someone really wants to jump the fare gate, they will. I’m 62 years old and I could pole-vault over there right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As if on cue, a shirtless man approached the gate, took a step back, and vaulted cleanly over the roughly 4-inch metal plates protruding from the middle of the gates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This sh– don’t work,” he said on landing, then walked briskly toward the stairs leading up to the platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are still going to find a way through,” said Tre Holland, as he reached for his Clipper card. “People still gonna do what they want. It is what it is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART estimates that it loses as much as $25 million a year to fare evasion, and has taken measures since early last year to stem what it calls “an epidemic” that creates a perception of lawlessness among paying riders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency has deployed a small team of fare inspectors who rove stations and trains and require passengers to show proof of payment, an effort backed up by intermittent fare enforcement sweeps at some stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last winter BART also \u003ca href=\"https://www.bart.gov/about/projects/fare-evasion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retrofitted existing fare gates\u003c/a> at several stations, including Embarcadero and Antioch, increasing the air pressure used to cinch the barrier closed in an effort to thwart forced entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In June, it installed its first prototype of a more dramatically modified fare gate, at Richmond Station — a set of double-decker wedges that open and close at waist and chest level, and on Twitter were quickly dubbed “skull-crushers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They need to rebuild them like they do it in France,” said Karen Marie Schroeder, referring to the full-length glass gates in the Paris Metro. She glanced at the new gates at Fruitvale and admitted she hadn’t even initially noticed the difference. “This is just a ridiculous system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/jef_poskanzer/status/1152751258517688321\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The model being tested at Fruitvale, which social media critics have called, among other things, the “reverse guillotine,” was installed in mid-July. When the original orange triangular-wedged fare gate arms snap closed, a slanted metal plate, resembling a shark’s fin, pops out of the top, switchblade-style, slightly raising the clearance height. It drops down again when the arms open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/3XImFeBrctw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, over the course of an hour, I counted at least 15 fare evaders. A few jumped over the gates, while the rest “piggybacked” behind paying customers or simply strolled through the emergency gate next to the agent’s booth after reaching over the top and hitting the release bar to open it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that time, not one person was stopped or questioned, and no BART police officers were visible in the immediate vicinity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s so frustrating,” said a BART station agent who didn’t want her name used because, she said, she was not technically allowed to speak to the press. “That gate doesn’t stop anybody. This is just a complete joke. We look like we have egg on our face.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the weeks since they were installed, she said, the metal plates have consistently malfunctioned, requiring ongoing visits from repair crews — including one that was busy trying to fix several damaged gates while I was there. Some gates appeared to function only intermittently, to the seeming bewilderment of some riders as they tried to legitimately enter the station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11763982\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1843px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART-2-e1564427524208.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11763982 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART-2-e1564598670547.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1843\" height=\"1132\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART-2-e1564598670547.jpg 1843w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART-2-e1564598670547-160x98.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART-2-e1564598670547-800x491.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART-2-e1564598670547-1020x627.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART-2-e1564598670547-1200x737.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1843px) 100vw, 1843px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man reaches over the emergency gate to open it and walk through without paying his fare, directly in front of the station agent. \u003ccite>(Matthew Green/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The agent said in the 25 years she’s worked for BART, she’s never seen fare evasion as bad as it has been in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, look, it’s a free-for-all. You can do whatever you want,” she said, scowling, as a man leisurely walked through the swinging door directly in front of her. “And we’re not allowed to say anything. … That’s why they’re doing it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to prevent assaults on station agents, BART prohibits them from confronting fare evaders. Some agents page the police when they see a violation, but even that, said the Fruitvale agent, is now discouraged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s grown so much, it’s honestly the norm. I’m really surprised people are still paying at all,” she said. And, she thinks, it will only get worse when BART raises fares in January. “[BART is] always crying poor, and here’s a lot of their money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She described seeing a well-dressed man in a suit and tie walk through the gate every day for months. When he finally got caught and slapped with a $75 ticket, he told the inspector he’d be glad to pay it, given all the money he’d saved from the free rides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prototypes at Richmond and Fruitvale stations have been lambasted on social media as examples of “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13861966/barts-fare-evasion-crackdown-exposes-the-deadly-elegance-of-hostile-design\">hostile design\u003c/a>” that alienates the poor and people with disabilities. Some critics have also questioned BART’s decision to test them at two stations with high rates of minority ridership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don’t like it,” said a young man who had literally just walked through the door without paying. “Psychologically, it’s messed up. You don’t see these in Pleasanton. It’s gentrification.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART emphasizes that both are pilots that were thoughtfully designed by in-house engineers and vetted for safety. And because they’re built into the existing fare gates, they’re significantly more affordable than a wholesale replacement of the 600 fare gates in the system, which the agency estimates could cost as much as $200 million\u003cstrong>.\u003c/strong> By contrast, the two prototypes were about $200,000 to build and install, said BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First, they are a pilot,” Trost said. “The idea is, what can we do to prevent people from hopping over the gate or pushing through? And so we are monitoring it very closely and talking with station managers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trost said the new designs are in part a response to a recent survey of riders, who overwhelmingly expressed concern about fare evasion and the uptick in theft, vagrancy and drug use they believe is linked to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11764575\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11764575\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A BART repair crew fixing one of the new gate prototypes at Fruitvale Station. \u003ccite>(Matthew Green/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>BART chose to pilot the prototypes at Richmond and Fruitvale stations based on factors like passenger volume and the number of ticket-gate arrays, Trost said. (Fruitvale, for instance, has only one set of gates and Richmond is a relatively low-traffic station). Reports from station agents of high rates of fare evasion at those stations also factored into the decision, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART’s board will ultimately vote on how to proceed with a larger overhaul of gates throughout the system, Trost said, although it’s not clear when that decision will be made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the realities of BART is that we don’t get the same level of government subsidies as many other transit agencies,” Trost said, noting that more than 75% of operating costs are paid by fares. “That’s how much we rely on fares, and why we have to get a handle on it. Without fares, we can’t pay for service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while it would be effective to have a police officer stationed at every set of fare gates, she added, that’s simply not feasible. There just aren’t enough of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just added 19 new [police officer] positions for this fiscal year,” she said. “But we’ll never have enough officers to be at every station. Our officers remain very mobile.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Fruitvale Station, I lingered to watch a handful more riders beat the fare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not going to work,” said a young woman, assessing BART’s latest strategy, as she stood in front of the gate, shuffling through her handbag. She waited for a paying passenger to come in and then quickly piggybacked through the gate behind him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side, she looked back at me with a sly grin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“See,” she said.

When the original orange triangular-wedged fare gate arms snap closed, a slanted metal plate, resembling a shark’s fin, pops out of the top, switchblade-style, slightly raising the clearance height.

You can do whatever you want,” she said, scowling, as a man leisurely walked through the swinging door directly in front of her. “And we’re not allowed to say anything. … That’s why they’re doing it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to prevent assaults on station agents, BART prohibits them from confronting fare evaders. Some agents page the police when they see a violation, but even that, said the Fruitvale agent, is now discouraged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s grown so much, it’s honestly the norm. I’m really surprised people are still paying at all,” she said. And, she thinks, it will only get worse when BART raises fares in January. “[BART is] always crying poor, and here’s a lot of their money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She described seeing a well-dressed man in a suit and tie walk through the gate every day for months. When he finally got caught and slapped with a $75 ticket, he told the inspector he’d be glad to pay it, given all the money he’d saved from the free rides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prototypes at Richmond and Fruitvale stations have been lambasted on social media as examples of “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13861966/barts-fare-evasion-crackdown-exposes-the-deadly-elegance-of-hostile-design\">hostile design\u003c/a>” that alienates the poor and people with disabilities.

And because they’re built into the existing fare gates, they’re significantly more affordable than a wholesale replacement of the 600 fare gates in the system, which the agency estimates could cost as much as $200 million\u003cstrong>.\u003c/strong> By contrast, the two prototypes were about $200,000 to build and install, said BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First, they are a pilot,” Trost said. “The idea is, what can we do to prevent people from hopping over the gate or pushing through? And so we are monitoring it very closely and talking with station managers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trost said the new designs are in part a response to a recent survey of riders, who overwhelmingly expressed concern about fare evasion and the uptick in theft, vagrancy and drug use they believe is linked to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11764575\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11764575\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/BART3-2-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A BART repair crew fixing one of the new gate prototypes at Fruitvale Station. \u003ccite>(Matthew Green/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>BART chose to pilot the prototypes at Richmond and Fruitvale stations based on factors like passenger volume and the number of ticket-gate arrays, Trost said. (Fruitvale, for instance, has only one set of gates and Richmond is a relatively low-traffic station). Reports from station agents of high rates of fare evasion at those stations also factored into the decision, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART’s board will ultimately vote on how to proceed with a larger overhaul of gates throughout the system, Trost said, although it’s not clear when that decision will be made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the realities of BART is that we don’t get the same level of government subsidies as many other transit agencies,” Trost said, noting that more than 75% of operating costs are paid by fares. “That’s how much we rely on fares, and why we have to get a handle on it. Without fares, we can’t pay for service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while it would be effective to have a police officer stationed at every set of fare gates, she added, that’s simply not feasible. There just aren’t enough of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just added 19 new [police officer] positions for this fiscal year,” she said. “But we’ll never have enough officers to be at every station. Our officers remain very mobile.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at Fruitvale Station, I lingered to watch a handful more riders beat the fare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not going to work,” said a young woman, assessing BART’s latest strategy, as she stood in front of the gate, shuffling through her handbag. She waited for a paying passenger to come in and then quickly piggybacked through the gate behind him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other side, she looked back at me with a sly grin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“See,” she said.

Here's what the Cornell Lab of Ornithology has to say about the birds' nest selection strategy and housekeeping habits:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Males typically choose the nest site, then sit in place and coo to attract a mate. The site is a nook, cranny, or ledge on either cliffs or manmade structures, often beneath eaves or an overhang. Pigeons may nest in stairwells, in rooms of abandoned buildings, or rain gutters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During nest building, the female sits on the nest and makes a flimsy platform of straw, stems, and sticks from materials brought to her one at a time by the male. Pigeons reuse their nests many times, and they don't carry away the feces of their nestlings the way many birds do.

Here's what the Cornell Lab of Ornithology has to say about the birds' nest selection strategy and housekeeping habits:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Males typically choose the nest site, then sit in place and coo to attract a mate. The site is a nook, cranny, or ledge on either cliffs or manmade structures, often beneath eaves or an overhang. Pigeons may nest in stairwells, in rooms of abandoned buildings, or rain gutters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During nest building, the female sits on the nest and makes a flimsy platform of straw, stems, and sticks from materials brought to her one at a time by the male. Pigeons reuse their nests many times, and they don't carry away the feces of their nestlings the way many birds do. This means that over time the lightweight nest grows into a sturdy, potlike mound, sometimes incorporating unhatched eggs and mummies of dead nestlings.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated 4 p.m. Wednesday\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a decade after the BART police killing of Oscar Grant, the transit agency has released a long-sealed report on a shooting that shocked the Bay Area, led to a rare criminal conviction for an officer's use of force and heralded a national movement for police accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 94-page report released Tuesday shows that investigators questioned Officer Johannes Mehserle's explanation for the New Year's Day 2009 shooting — that he meant to draw a Taser, not his service firearm, before firing the round that killed Grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The document also lays much of the responsibility for the incident, which occurred after BART police responded to a report of a fight on a train, on a second BART officer — Anthony Pirone. The report says Pirone, who punched and kneed Grant after detaining him, \"started a cascade of events that ultimately led to the shooting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, completed by independent investigators hired by BART in July 2009, was released by the agency Tuesday under terms of SB 1421, California's new police transparency law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11717416' hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/JusticeforOscarGrant-1020x726.jpg' target='_blank']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sections of the report relating to Mehserle were redacted, and investigators noted they had been unable to interview the officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they wrote that videos of the Fruitvale Station incident showed Mehserle may have known he was drawing his firearm, not his Taser, before shooting Grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Despite the inability to interview Officer Mehserle, the conclusion can be made from a close viewing of the enhanced video that he was intending to pull his firearm and not his Taser,\" the report says, noting that Mehserle repeatedly reached for his gun \"and on the final occasion can be seen looking back at his hand on the gun/holster to watch the gun come out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mehserle fired a single round into Grant's back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just prior to the shooting, the 22-year-old Grant, face down on the station platform with Officer Pirone kneeling on his neck and head, had put both hands behind him \"in a handcuffing position,\" the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Deadly force was not justified under the circumstances,\" the investigation found.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Los Angeles jury convicted Mehserle of involuntary manslaughter in 2010, and he was sentenced to a two-year prison term, of which he served 11 months. He was released in June 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Role of 'Crazy Cop'\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The report is unsparing in its criticism of Pirone's conduct in the chaotic 13 minutes before the shooting, saying the officer lied repeatedly to investigators about his actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The document says Pirone was the first BART officer on the southbound Fruitvale platform, responding to reports of a fight on a Dublin/Pleasanton train crowded with passengers returning from New Year's Eve festivities in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Witnesses would later describe Pirone to investigators as the \"crazy cop,\" “very agitated,\" \"harsh and unprofessional,\" and \"not calm, not once.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"police-records\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/Police-Art_1-1.gif\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/police-records\" target=\"_blank\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pirone left his partner, Officer Marysol Domenici, who was handling a separate issue at a station agent's booth, and climbed the stairs to the station platform about 2:04 a.m. He stopped three black men who'd just walked off the train, telling them either to \"sit the fuck down\" or \"get on the fucking wall,\" according to what they told investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Domenici joined him, he told her to \"watch these guys,\" while he ordered Grant over to the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pirone then got on the train to detain a passenger named Michael Greer. Witnesses described Pirone as loud, aggressive and profane, with one saying the officer yelled, \"Get the fuck out of my car\" before dragging Greer off the train and handcuffing him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grant, meanwhile, was telling his friends against the wall to \"just be cool\" and \"be quiet — we’re going to go home tonight\" as they argued with Domenici, according to Jack Bryson Jr., one of the detained men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pirone told investigators he saw Grant fighting with Domenici and that he rushed to help her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The video, however, shows a completely different story, one of Grant pushing his friends back from Domenici and no touching of her ever taking place,\" the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he reached Grant, Pirone told investigators they scuffled.

The report says Pirone, who punched and kneed Grant after detaining him, \"started a cascade of events that ultimately led to the shooting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report, completed by independent investigators hired by BART in July 2009, was released by the agency Tuesday under terms of SB 1421, California's new police transparency law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
