No, Parking

A couple months ago I wrote about new parking meters the city had installed along Brannan Street between 7th and 8th. 20 or so new revenue-generating parking meters is a small, but good development. Even smaller but very puzzling is the absence of meters at two spaces in front of a perennially for-lease building.


These two spaces are in front of roll-up doors that bear stenciled 'NO PARKING' signs and curb cuts. Naturally, these are driveways. Hence, no parking meters, right? Not so. Immediately behind the roll-up doors is a plate glass window.

Today's Bike Count

Today on my roughly two-mile walk to work through SoMa I counted:

3 bikes riding legally in the street (You go!)

4 bikes riding illegally on the sidewalk (Y'all know how I feel about that)
