"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated, 2:50 p.m. Monday\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART and its major unions have announced a tentative agreement for a new four-year contract, a deal that would head off a repeat of 2013's strikes and allow the agency to focus on its campaign for a $3.5 billion bond issue this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART General Manager Grace Crunican announced the proposed agreements, which include a 10.8 percent pay increase over four years, at a Monday morning press conference at the agency's Oakland headquarters. She was joined by leaders of the agency's four biggest unions, including Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 and SEIU Local 1021's BART unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a joint statement, the two sides acknowledged the need to improve labor-management relations after 2013's bitter contract dispute, which shut down the system twice for a total of eight days. The dispute played a part in the death of two trackside workers, who were struck and killed by a train under the control of a trainee operator during the second union walkout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Both sides are dedicated to rebuilding the system as a major priority,\" the statement said. \"That shared commitment has motivated a series of conversations that ... have created a tentative agreement reached by both parties.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed contract, which must still be approved by the unions and by BART's elected board of directors, would be in force from mid-2017 through mid-2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tentative pact \"will provide the region and our riders with consistent and uninterrupted service for the next five years,\" the joint statement said. \"This agreement will enable BART workers and management to continue to work on improving the relationship so that all of our collective energy can focus on rebuilding BART.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2013 strikes led to calls for a ban on walkouts by BART employees, a stand championed by former Orinda Mayor Steve Glazer in his successful 2015 run for the state Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glazer \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/State-Sen-Steve-Glazer-ties-BART-bond-support-to-6805416.php\" target=\"_blank\">announced in February\u003c/a> that he would fight the anticipated BART bond measure unless the agency negotiated new \"financially responsible\" contracts with its union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I look forward to reviewing the details of the agreement and its implications to commuters and taxpayers,” Glazer said after the tentative contract was announced. \"I will be consulting today with the 40 elected officials who co-signed my letter urging that BART rebuild its public trust with concrete, fiscally responsible actions before the November elections when BART is expected to ask voters for a multi-billion dollar bond.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glazer added that he would hold a Tuesday morning press conference at the Walnut Creek BART station to give his \"more complete assessment\" of the contract proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART says the bond issue is crucial to help meet the system's nearly $5 billion in unfunded capital investment needs. Bond funds would go toward purchasing the agency's new generation of rail cars, buying and installing an updated central train control system and modernizing its principal maintenance facility in Hayward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zakhary Mallett, who has been critical of fellow board members for approving the 2013 labor contracts, nonetheless argued in\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/article/Support-a-bond-measure-to-reinvest-in-BART-7223479.php\" target=\"_blank\"> a recent San Francisco Chronicle op-ed\u003c/a> piece for voters to support the bond measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also offered a suggestion for those who are, like him, unhappy with the agency's labor contracts:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Getting those under control requires a different action. If you’re disgusted with BART’s leadership for not being careful enough with your money, then vote for financially responsible directors to lead BART or run for office yourself. Five BART director seats — including mine — are up in November. You have until August to throw your name in the hat for a race.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

She was joined by leaders of the agency's four biggest unions, including Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 and SEIU Local 1021's BART unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a joint statement, the two sides acknowledged the need to improve labor-management relations after 2013's bitter contract dispute, which shut down the system twice for a total of eight days. The dispute played a part in the death of two trackside workers, who were struck and killed by a train under the control of a trainee operator during the second union walkout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Both sides are dedicated to rebuilding the system as a major priority,\" the statement said. \"That shared commitment has motivated a series of conversations that ... have created a tentative agreement reached by both parties.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bond funds would go toward purchasing the agency's new generation of rail cars, buying and installing an updated central train control system and modernizing its principal maintenance facility in Hayward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zakhary Mallett, who has been critical of fellow board members for approving the 2013 labor contracts, nonetheless argued in\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/article/Support-a-bond-measure-to-reinvest-in-BART-7223479.php\" target=\"_blank\"> a recent San Francisco Chronicle op-ed\u003c/a> piece for voters to support the bond measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also offered a suggestion for those who are, like him, unhappy with the agency's labor contracts:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Getting those under control requires a different action. If you’re disgusted with BART’s leadership for not being careful enough with your money, then vote for financially responsible directors to lead BART or run for office yourself. Five BART director seats — including mine — are up in November. You have until August to throw your name in the hat for a race.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

BART began those tests last night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Where we're at right now, and where we've been for the last couple of days, we've used some fairly sophisticated instrumentation that we've put on board a test train, and we've been running back and forth, both in that area and elsewhere in the system in the hopes that we would have a repeat and could get some recorded data that would allow us to analyze and come to a conclusion on what exactly the problem was,\" Paul Oversier, assistant general manager of BART, said on \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201603211000\" target=\"_blank\">KQED's Forum Monday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oversier said that the cause of the electrical surge was still not known, but that the damage to the cars was caused by \"extreme voltage transients.\" Those voltage spikes damaged semiconductor components known as thyristors, mostly on \"C\" cars. Oversier called \"C\" cars some of the most versatile because they can operate in the lead, end or middle of the train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oversier said BART made improvements to cars over the weekend and has returned 36 to service since Friday. He said BART requires 579 cars to operate morning service, but the transit system was running 557 cars Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In terms of car availability, we're moving forward.\" Oversier said. \"We've got a plan that hopefully over the next week or two will allow that trend to continue, barring, of course, problems like this appearing elsewhere in the system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tom Radulovich, president of the BART Board of Directors, said the system, which was designed in the 1960s, is vulnerable to disruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have four lines in the East Bay, and they converge and run in one single line from West Oakland to the city,\" Radulovich said. \"So when anything happens on that one line, (it) very quickly replicates throughout the entire system. The saying is that 'when BART goes down, it goes down big.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Radulovich said there's not a lot of resiliency built into BART, but said the system is trying to implement it as it can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listen to the full Forum episode here below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/253897076\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 4 p.m. Friday:\u003c/strong> BART says it's conducting intensive testing of a stretch of track where electrical power surges damaged dozens of cars on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the agency says that section of the system, between North Concord and Pittsburg/Bay Point, will remain closed and that a bus bridge between those stations is expected to continue at least through Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost said Friday afternoon that a test train equipped with special measuring gear is being run across the affected stretch of track to try to find the source of the rogue voltage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A specialist who has been flown in from the East Coast is on that train as well, and we're trying to pinpoint the exact location this spike in voltage is occurring and get to the bottom of why it's happening,\" Trost told KQED's Tara Siler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The specialist \"understands high-voltage and electrical systems and has helped other transit systems troubleshoot and identify complex problems like this,\" Trost said. \"So we’re hoping he and our experts can get to the bottom of this today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she cautioned passengers not to get their hopes up about a return to normal service over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will be great if we get service back up and running, but we would rather people plan to expect bus bridge to the end of Monday,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trost said the number of train cars in service had fallen from 534 on Thursday to 521 Friday. That compares with the 590 the district says run on a typical weekday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she added that BART mechanics hoped to have about 40 of the 58 cars sidelined by the Wednesday power surges back in service over the next couple of weeks. That would be possible, she said, by borrowing intact components from some out-of-service train cars to repair some of the vehicles damaged this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So there's some good news in terms of the crowding\" on the system, Trost said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post (Thursday):\u003c/strong> BART says it's trying to cope with a shortage of train cars throughout its 104-mile system after a still undetermined electrical problem knocked 50 cars out of service Wednesday and shut down operations between the North Concord and Pittsburg/Bay Point stations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said Thursday afternoon that the bus bridge that's been ferrying passengers between the two Contra Costa County stations will be running at least into Friday's morning commute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meantime, crews will continue investigating what caused the electrical problem that damaged the cars less than a month after a similar issue near downtown Oakland and the Transbay Tube damaged propulsion systems on dozens of train cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost described the problem between Pittsburgh/Bay Point and North Concord as \"extreme voltage spikes that damage cars at any given moment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said BART was operating with 534 cars on Thursday instead of the normal complement of 590. That forced the agency to run shorter trains than usual and to simply suspend some scheduled runs. Trost said that 11 trains were missing one car, five trains were missing two cars and three trains were \"out of circulation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/mgafni/status/710593621544669184\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maintenance workers spent Thursday assessing the condition of the affected cars, which suffered damage to a variety of electrical components.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART Chief Maintenance Officer Dave Hardt said one crucial part that failed on the cars is called a thyristor -- \"THIGH-wrister\" if you're trying to pronounce that at home -- a semiconductor that regulates power to the traction motors that make the cars go faster and slower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KQED's Tara Siler, Hardt said the the power spikes essentially fried the thyristors and disabled the cars' propulsion systems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hardt said between 50 and 100 of the thyristors, which cost $1,000 each, failed during Wednesday's episode. Replacing them is a challenge, he said. While some used thryristors can be cannibalized from out-of-service cars, BART will need to order new ones, too, and it typically takes the district's supplier 22 weeks to fill an order for the parts. Hardt said that means some cars damaged in the power surges may not be returned to service until summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hardt said the biggest problem BART faces right now is finding the source of the power spikes that damaged the cars, and he admits he's baffled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Based on what I know, having spent until after midnight in our operations control center with my partners and engineers and some maintenance personnel trying to isolate the failure, we just plain don't know\" what's causing the power surges, Hardt said. \"We know, though, that the current problem has not gone away -- it didn't disappear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the problem is \"very localized\" to a certain part of the trackway and that PG&E is working side by side with BART to troubleshoot the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10899064\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 550px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/bart-infographic.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10899064\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10899064\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/bart-infographic.png\" alt=\"BART infographic explaining logistics behind putting its daily trains together.\" width=\"550\" height=\"690\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/bart-infographic.png 550w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/bart-infographic-400x502.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">BART infographic explaining logistics behind putting its daily trains together. \u003ccite>(BART)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Trost said that crews have been examining the trackway between the two Contra Costa County stations looking for the source of the power spikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We did field testing all day (Wednesday), inch-by-inch inspections of the wayside equipment, and we found no abnormalities in that inspection,\" Trost said in a statement. \"We are flying in outside experts to help get to the bottom of what's causing this problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"PG&E has also been on site with us to see if there' s something they can help us identify, because we know it is an electrical issue of some sort,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it did Wednesday night, BART set up a bus bridge Thursday morning between the Pittsburg/Bay Point and North Concord stations a day after service between the two stations was brought to a halt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trip between the two stations usually takes six minutes, but travel on the buses, which must use busy Highway 4 between the stations, took 15 minutes or more Wednesday evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/3rdERH/status/710494176991780865\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Westbound commuters Thursday morning were reporting bus rides of about 10 minutes from Pittsburg/Bay Point to North Concord, where riders catch trains to Oakland, San Francisco and San Francisco International Airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The early Thursday commute was going less than smoothly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency said service on the line was suffering 10-minute delays.

Replacing them is a challenge, he said. While some used thryristors can be cannibalized from out-of-service cars, BART will need to order new ones, too, and it typically takes the district's supplier 22 weeks to fill an order for the parts. Hardt said that means some cars damaged in the power surges may not be returned to service until summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hardt said the biggest problem BART faces right now is finding the source of the power spikes that damaged the cars, and he admits he's baffled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Based on what I know, having spent until after midnight in our operations control center with my partners and engineers and some maintenance personnel trying to isolate the failure, we just plain don't know\" what's causing the power surges, Hardt said. \"We know, though, that the current problem has not gone away -- it didn't disappear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the problem is \"very localized\" to a certain part of the trackway and that PG&E is working side by side with BART to troubleshoot the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10899064\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 550px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/bart-infographic.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10899064\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-10899064\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/bart-infographic.png\" alt=\"BART infographic explaining logistics behind putting its daily trains together.\" width=\"550\" height=\"690\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/bart-infographic.png 550w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/bart-infographic-400x502.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">BART infographic explaining logistics behind putting its daily trains together. \u003ccite>(BART)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Trost said that crews have been examining the trackway between the two Contra Costa County stations looking for the source of the power spikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We did field testing all day (Wednesday), inch-by-inch inspections of the wayside equipment, and we found no abnormalities in that inspection,\" Trost said in a statement. \"We are flying in outside experts to help get to the bottom of what's causing this problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"PG&E has also been on site with us to see if there' s something they can help us identify, because we know it is an electrical issue of some sort,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it did Wednesday night, BART set up a bus bridge Thursday morning between the Pittsburg/Bay Point and North Concord stations a day after service between the two stations was brought to a halt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trip between the two stations usually takes six minutes, but travel on the buses, which must use busy Highway 4 between the stations, took 15 minutes or more Wednesday evening.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But Shen says the city learned its lessons during similar revisioning initiatives for downtown and West Berkeley. Many felt that developers dominated those discussions and local residents were locked out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time around, the city is conducting a survey of the flea market vendors, and holding dozens of community meetings, where they’re hearing from a lot of skeptics.

But it may be the very thing that ends up threatening the flea market. Alisa Shen, with Berkeley’s planning department, says the city is \"just trying to solicit ideas\" at this point, but the BART parking lot is one of the few available sites where new housing could be built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've heard the community wants more affordable housing, and typically you look at surface parking lots or vacant lots,” says Shen.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>Learning From The Past?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>In 2006, a proposal to build residential housing on the Ashby BART parking lot site \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleydailyplanet.com/issue/2006-01-20/article/23234?headline=Neighbors-Oppose-Ashby-BART-Project-By-RICHARD-BRENNEMAN&status=301\" target=\"_blank\">was beaten back by neighborhood residents\u003c/a>. But Shen says the city learned its lessons during similar revisioning initiatives for downtown and West Berkeley. Many felt that developers dominated those discussions and local residents were locked out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time around, the city is conducting a survey of the flea market vendors, and holding dozens of community meetings, where they’re hearing from a lot of skeptics. At a meeting with the Community Services United board of directors and other concerned citizens, \u003ca href=\"http://berkeleycopwatch.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeley Copwatch\u003c/a>'s Andrea Prichett sounded off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like what’s gonna end up is, you’re gonna be building expensive apartments for people who don’t live here yet, and that the people that do live here are gonna be forced out,\" Prichett told Shen. \"And then you’re gonna be able to say that the flea market was part of the process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The market could be relocated onto Adeline Street, which would be closed to traffic in one direction on the weekends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela Jackson is trying to organize her fellow vendors to create their own vision for the future. They recently held their first meeting. Jackson, who was born and raised in San Francisco, says she doesn’t want to see history repeat itself, where neighborhood improvements have ended up displacing black residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My family was very prominent in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/kqed/fillmore/learning/story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Fillmore area\u003c/a> when redevelopment came through there, so that kinda tugs at my heartstrings.

I was sitting in an aisle seat on an evening train, at the tail end of rush hour, and my full-size suitcase and a couple of other bags were in the window seat beside me. As the train filled up in downtown San Francisco, a fellow rider stood in the aisle and glared at me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got up and gave my seat to her. My bags, which I thought would be a headache to manage in the aisle, stayed put.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then another rider approached and looked askance at the suitcase-filled seat.

As the train filled up in downtown San Francisco, a fellow rider stood in the aisle and glared at me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got up and gave my seat to her. My bags, which I thought would be a headache to manage in the aisle, stayed put.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then another rider approached and looked askance at the suitcase-filled seat.
