(Sara Bloomberg/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A San Francisco lawyer is filing suit against ride-service company Uber in connection with a New Year’s Eve incident in which a driver for the firm struck and killed a 6-year-old girl at a Tenderloin street corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawyer Christopher Dolan says (\u003ca href=\"http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/01/27/uber-and-a-childs-death/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">by way of The New York Times\u003c/a> and others) that his planned filing today in San Francisco Superior Court is the first wrongful-death action ever filed against Uber, a leader among what regulators call “transportation network companies.” The San Francisco-based firm also faces at least two other personal-injury lawsuits in the city related to accidents that have occurred over the past 10 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/20/ride-sharing-insurance-lyft-uberx-sidecar/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my colleague Jon Brooks has reported\u003c/a>, the Dec. 31 accident involved driver Syed Muzaffar, a Union City man who drives passengers as part of the Uber network. Muzaffar came to the city on New Year’s Eve, his lawyer, Graham Archer says, with the express intent to drive passengers for the company’s UberX ride service and had already completed one trip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dolan’s lawsuit (embedded in full below) picks up the story there:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>19. … [A]t just before 8:00pm, HUAN KUANG was walking home in San Francisco with her two children, ANTHONY LIU, who was 5 years old, and SOFIA LIU, who was 6 years old.\u003cbr>\n20. They approached the intersection of Polk Street and Ellis Street. When the light was green for them to walk, they began to cross Polk Street within the crosswalk.\u003cbr>\n21. As they were in the cross-walk, with the signal green for them to walk, a vehicle driven by Defendant SYED MUZZAFAR turned right from Ellis Street and collided with HUAN KUANG, ANTHONY LIU and SOFIA LIU.\u003cbr>\n22. The collision caused the wrongful death of SOFIA LIU, and caused serious and significant physical and mental injuries to the other Plaintiffs in this action.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Muzaffar was arrested \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/02/122446/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the accident, Uber quickly acknowledged that “a partner” had been involved in the accident and was equally quick to say that the partner wasn’t working for the service when he struck the pedestrians, a statement intended to distance the company from liability. But Muzaffar was logged on to the Uber app and awaiting another customer, his attorney says, meaning that in essence he was engaged in company business and should be covered by the company’s $1 million liability insurance policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dolan contends in the suit filed today that Muzaffar was not only logged on to the app at the time of the accident, but was “viewing, monitoring and/or interacting with his wireless communications device/smartphone/GPS at or near the time of the collision.” The complaint alleges that Uber’s app requires drivers to violate the California law that seeks to address distracted driving by banning the manual operation of mobile phones, GPS devices and the like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit also takes on Uber’s suggestion that it has no liability because Muzaffar was not in active service at the time he struck Sophia Liu. The complaint notes that, like any other startup, the company’s business model depends on attracting more users. To be able to deliver on its promise of prompt service, the suit say, the company needs a “significant number” of drivers available to provide rides. “Therefore,” the suit says, “regardless of whether a DRIVER actually has a USER in their car, is on the way to a USER who has engaged the DRIVER through the APP, or simply is logged on to the APP as an available DRIVER, UBER, and/or RASIER LLC and/or RAISER-CA LLC and/or Does 1-10 and 21-30 derives an economic benefit from having DRIVERS registered on the service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dolan \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/15/watch-jahi-mcmath-lawyer-discusses-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also represents the family of Jahi McMath\u003c/a>, the brain-dead Oakland teenager who last month went to court to fight a hospital’s attempt to remove her from a ventilator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the lawsuit in a version uploaded by The New York Times:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"doc_13342\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/202550537/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Reach Dan Brekke at \u003ca href=\"mailto:dbrekke@kqed.org\">dbrekke@kqed.org\u003c/a> or (415) 553-2176.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But Muzaffar was logged on to the Uber app and awaiting another customer, his attorney says, meaning that in essence he was engaged in company business and should be covered by the company’s $1 million liability insurance policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dolan contends in the suit filed today that Muzaffar was not only logged on to the app at the time of the accident, but was “viewing, monitoring and/or interacting with his wireless communications device/smartphone/GPS at or near the time of the collision.” The complaint alleges that Uber’s app requires drivers to violate the California law that seeks to address distracted driving by banning the manual operation of mobile phones, GPS devices and the like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit also takes on Uber’s suggestion that it has no liability because Muzaffar was not in active service at the time he struck Sophia Liu. The complaint notes that, like any other startup, the company’s business model depends on attracting more users. To be able to deliver on its promise of prompt service, the suit say, the company needs a “significant number” of drivers available to provide rides. “Therefore,” the suit says, “regardless of whether a DRIVER actually has a USER in their car, is on the way to a USER who has engaged the DRIVER through the APP, or simply is logged on to the APP as an available DRIVER, UBER, and/or RASIER LLC and/or RAISER-CA LLC and/or Does 1-10 and 21-30 derives an economic benefit from having DRIVERS registered on the service.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dolan \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/15/watch-jahi-mcmath-lawyer-discusses-case/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also represents the family of Jahi McMath\u003c/a>, the brain-dead Oakland teenager who last month went to court to fight a hospital’s attempt to remove her from a ventilator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the lawsuit in a version uploaded by The New York Times:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"doc_13342\" src=\"//www.scribd.com/embeds/202550537/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Reach Dan Brekke at \u003ca href=\"mailto:dbrekke@kqed.org\">dbrekke@kqed.org\u003c/a> or (415) 553-2176.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In today’s action, marchers blocked buses reportedly headed for Google and Facebook at 8th and Market Streets for about 30 minutes during the morning rush hour.

The city gives the tech industry major incentives to move in, be they tax breaks or practically free use of public bus stops and other infrastructure. Real estate speculators take advantage of this, abusing state laws such as the Ellis Act to displace longtime residents, disproportionately those who are elderly, disabled, and/or in other ways marginalized. This industry too has long had its hands in the pockets of politicians. The collusion between tech, real estate, and city/state politics is responsible for the unprecedented levels of displacement. Ellis Act evictions have gone up 170% over the last 12 months; no-fault evictions are up 83% over the last three years. Rents are up 20% along tech bus routes, and evictions have skyrocketed in SOMA directly correlating to Twitter settling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will march to three locations and will have speakers at each one, including community leaders, writers, and tenants who are being displaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will reconvene at City Hall at 1pm for the SFMTA Board meeting on the $1/bus stop proposal. We maintain that $1 doesn’t stop displacement.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

The city gives the tech industry major incentives to move in, be they tax breaks or practically free use of public bus stops and other infrastructure. Real estate speculators take advantage of this, abusing state laws such as the Ellis Act to displace longtime residents, disproportionately those who are elderly, disabled, and/or in other ways marginalized. This industry too has long had its hands in the pockets of politicians. The collusion between tech, real estate, and city/state politics is responsible for the unprecedented levels of displacement. Ellis Act evictions have gone up 170% over the last 12 months; no-fault evictions are up 83% over the last three years. Rents are up 20% along tech bus routes, and evictions have skyrocketed in SOMA directly correlating to Twitter settling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will march to three locations and will have speakers at each one, including community leaders, writers, and tenants who are being displaced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will reconvene at City Hall at 1pm for the SFMTA Board meeting on the $1/bus stop proposal.

That ends the familiar “4/2” traffic pattern that started when the Caldecott’s third bore \u003ca href=\"http://www.caldecott-tunnel.org/index.php/project-overview/history-caldecott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opened\u003c/a> in 1964. Here’s how Caltrans describes its routine of reversing traffic through what used to be the tunnel’s middle bore:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>During the week, the middle bore of the Caldecott is reversed sometime between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. to favor westbound traffic, and then switched again sometime between 11:30 a.m. and noon to favor eastbound traffic. Ballgames, concerts and other events make balancing weekend traffic through the tunnel very difficult. It is not uncommon to reverse the middle bore six times on a Saturday or Sunday.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.caldecott-tunnel.org/images/stories/factsheet-flyers/caldecott_FALL2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new fourth bore\u003c/a> is taller and wider than the earlier bores, complete with a shoulder lane, is more brightly lit and features improved ventilation. Caltrans says that like the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge, the new bore is designed to be a “regional lifeline structure.” The Hayward Fault crosses Highway 24 just west of the tunnel’s Oakland portal, and the bore “is designed to reopen to emergency traffic within 72 hours of a major earthquake.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A brief timeline of the Caldecott Tunnel and its Oakland Hills predecessors, \u003ca href=\"http://www.caldecott-tunnel.org/index.php/project-overview/history-caldecott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">by way of Caltrans\u003c/a>. The original impetus behind the tunnel project was to make it easier to get from East Bay shore communities to Contra Costa County. The old way, still open if you care to drive it, was to go up the relatively precipitous slopes of Claremont Canyon from Oakland, cross a saddle of the Oakland Hills, then descend toward Orinda via Fish Ranch Road. \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Late 1870s:\u003c/strong> Work begins on the \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandwiki.org/Kennedy_Tunnel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tunnel through hills\u003c/a> from the Kennedy Toll Road but is abandoned after just 300 feet are excavated between Oakland Hills and Orinda. The toll road followed the route of the current Tunnel Road up to a portal which today marks the beginning of Skyline Drive. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>1903:\u003c/strong> Broadway Tunnel, also known as Kennedy Tunnel and the Inter-County Tunnel. Says Caltrans: “The Broadway Tunnel was located about 220 feet above the current Caldecott Tunnel and 320 feet below the summit. It was 1,040 feet long and 17 feet wide and built with timber supports. Long, dark and narrow, the tunnel could only accommodate one-way traffic.

(Metropolitan Transportation Commission)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Drivers are saying farewell to a half-century-old ritual in their trips to and from \u003ca href=\"http://areacode.org/925\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 925\u003c/a> from Oakland and San Francisco. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the new, $420 million fourth bore of the Caldecott Tunnel open — Caltrans opened it \u003ca href=\"http://photos.mercurynews.com/2013/11/15/photos-caldecotts-fourth-bore-official-ribbon-cutting/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">before dawn Saturday\u003c/a> — four lanes of traffic are flowing in both directions for the first time. That ends the familiar “4/2” traffic pattern that started when the Caldecott’s third bore \u003ca href=\"http://www.caldecott-tunnel.org/index.php/project-overview/history-caldecott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opened\u003c/a> in 1964. Here’s how Caltrans describes its routine of reversing traffic through what used to be the tunnel’s middle bore:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>During the week, the middle bore of the Caldecott is reversed sometime between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. to favor westbound traffic, and then switched again sometime between 11:30 a.m. and noon to favor eastbound traffic. Ballgames, concerts and other events make balancing weekend traffic through the tunnel very difficult. It is not uncommon to reverse the middle bore six times on a Saturday or Sunday.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.caldecott-tunnel.org/images/stories/factsheet-flyers/caldecott_FALL2013.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new fourth bore\u003c/a> is taller and wider than the earlier bores, complete with a shoulder lane, is more brightly lit and features improved ventilation. Caltrans says that like the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge, the new bore is designed to be a “regional lifeline structure.” The Hayward Fault crosses Highway 24 just west of the tunnel’s Oakland portal, and the bore “is designed to reopen to emergency traffic within 72 hours of a major earthquake.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A brief timeline of the Caldecott Tunnel and its Oakland Hills predecessors, \u003ca href=\"http://www.caldecott-tunnel.org/index.php/project-overview/history-caldecott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">by way of Caltrans\u003c/a>. The original impetus behind the tunnel project was to make it easier to get from East Bay shore communities to Contra Costa County. The old way, still open if you care to drive it, was to go up the relatively precipitous slopes of Claremont Canyon from Oakland, cross a saddle of the Oakland Hills, then descend toward Orinda via Fish Ranch Road. \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Late 1870s:\u003c/strong> Work begins on the \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandwiki.org/Kennedy_Tunnel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tunnel through hills\u003c/a> from the Kennedy Toll Road but is abandoned after just 300 feet are excavated between Oakland Hills and Orinda. The toll road followed the route of the current Tunnel Road up to a portal which today marks the beginning of Skyline Drive. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>1903:\u003c/strong> Broadway Tunnel, also known as Kennedy Tunnel and the Inter-County Tunnel. Says Caltrans: “The Broadway Tunnel was located about 220 feet above the current Caldecott Tunnel and 320 feet below the summit. It was 1,040 feet long and 17 feet wide and built with timber supports. Long, dark and narrow, the tunnel could only accommodate one-way traffic. Drivers on either side would ignite rolled-up newspapers to signal travelers on the other side to wait for them to pass through.”\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>1915:\u003c/strong> Broadway Tunnel widened to accommodate cars and trucks (and two-way traffic). Structure was subject to frequent leakage and landslides at either end, especially during rainy season. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>1934:\u003c/strong> Work on the twin-bore “Broadway Low-Level Tunnel” begins. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>1937\u003c/strong>: Broadway Low-Level Tunnel opens (13 months after opening of Bay Bridge and a little more than six months after opening of Golden Gate Bridge). \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>1960: \u003c/strong>Tunnel renamed after Thomas Caldecott, former mayor of Berkeley and public transportation official.

POTA’s demands are simple: a Green Emissions Fee, $50 paid to truckers monthly to offset the cost of upgrading trucks to new green emissions standards, an extension for compliance with new environmental standards that will go into effect for owner-operators on January 1, 2014, and a Congestion Fee paid to compensate truckers for hours, currently unpaid, spent waiting for a cargo load, and an increase in pay per cargo load.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Driver Herbert Olivares stood at the gate to Terminal 60 at dawn this morning, and explained what happened last Friday while waiting to drop off an empty container. “I started the line here around 11:50 a.m., and I didn’t get out of the terminal until 4:30 in the afternoon,” Olivares said. “Just one box.

Despite the long list of grievances the truckers have, which include unsafe working conditions, verbal abuse from terminal employees, a single men’s restroom for all truckers to use, and daily hours of unpaid time spent waiting for a load, they are only asking for three things from the Port of Oakland and terminal owners. POTA’s demands are simple: a Green Emissions Fee, $50 paid to truckers monthly to offset the cost of upgrading trucks to new green emissions standards, an extension for compliance with new environmental standards that will go into effect for owner-operators on January 1, 2014, and a Congestion Fee paid to compensate truckers for hours, currently unpaid, spent waiting for a cargo load, and an increase in pay per cargo load.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Driver Herbert Olivares stood at the gate to Terminal 60 at dawn this morning, and explained what happened last Friday while waiting to drop off an empty container. “I started the line here around 11:50 a.m., and I didn’t get out of the terminal until 4:30 in the afternoon,” Olivares said. “Just one box.
