		<description><![CDATA[Today is a Furlough Friday, when the City of Oakland&#8217;s non-emergency services are closed to the public. Because of the Martin Luther King holiday, the City has a four-day weekend. Branch libraries will be closed on Tuesday as well. Oaklanders have come to accept that our ever-worsening budget crisis will mean a decrease in City [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This blog is about decisions made today that shape the future. I often focus on transit and bike/ped issues because transportation is the fabric of Oakland, and can be the foundation of a healthier and more successful city. Last week, the Oakland City Council took on two vital and controversial transportation issues, parking pricing and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, deeply unpopular Mayor Ron Dellums named his long-time aide, Interim City Administrator Dan Lindheim, permanent City Administrator. Nevermind that the interim appointment of Mr. Lindheim was illegal, or that Mr. Lindheim has no experience as a city manager, or that his seven months as interim administration have been among the city’s worst. His appointment must be confirmed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new year presents the opportunity to dream and hope for the new. It may seem that this is not the best moment to hope for new transit service: not only will a slipping economy mean less sales-tax revenue from which to fund local transit, but one state budget-balancing idea includes stripping local transit agencies [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In creating the 2007 budget, Oakland’s City Council made a critical decision that would place the most basic and necessary piece of bicycle infrastructure in serious jeopardy. In switching to higher-revenue, sidewalk-friendly “Pay and Display” parking kiosks, and so removing parking meters, Oakland would lose the vast majority of legal bicycle parking. Bike/ped activists recognized [...]]]></description>
