		<description><![CDATA[Last week I wrote about the problems with Oakland&#8217;s transportation decision-making process. Existing problems include not only a lack of planning for future investment, but flawed approaches to oversight of public and private transportation projects in an near Oakland for compliance with city goals, poor coordination with other cities and agencies, and an almost incoherent [...]]]></description>
