  • The long, long wait for the restroom at BART is over

    It's been 20 years since riders could use an underground restroom at a BART station. The closures date back to the 9/11 terror attacks. Two decades later, the stalls are reopening with modern touches and public safety upgrades.

    Host Matt Pitman was there when there for the toilet paper ribbon cutting ceremony (yes, really) at the first re-opening, at the Powell Street BART station in San Francisco.

  • The battle over a car-free JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park

    The 1.5-mile stretch of JFK Drive through Golden Gate Park has been closed to cars since the start of the pandemic. Later this spring, San Francisco's Board of Supervisors will vote on whether to make the closure permanent. Since it closed to cars in April 2020, advocacy and opposition have grown equally.
