BERKELEY – San Pablo Avenue is the third most dangerous traffic corridor in Alameda County, where bicyclists and pedestrians are often left unprotected from speeding motorists traveling along the bustling state highway — one of the oldest in the East Bay.While the 22-mile corridor, which runs through two counties and a dozen cities, is home to buzzy eateries, eclectic storefronts and an increasing number of new multi-family housing complexes, the infrastructure cannot safely and efficiently accommodate the tens of thousands of people who traverse this “central spine of travel” each day.On the 2.5-mile stretch inside Berkeley’s borders alone, transit officials say that more than 10 people are killed each year.After roughly seven years of community input and study, Berkeley this week became the last and final city to sign off on the first phase of the San Pablo Avenue Corridor Project — part of the Alameda County Transportation Commission’s multi-million dollar plan ...With door closing on A’s future, Oaklanders ponder how to move on

But that dream has mostly evaporated after Major League Baseball owners this week approved the A’s relocation plans to Las Vegas.The outcome of the vote was widely expected, but Schaaf and other fans, business owners and officials around Oakland see it as emblematic of what wealthy baseball owners really think of their communities — they don’t.“They’re going to act in their own self-interest to support one of their own,” an unsurprised Schaaf said of the owners’ vote. “Everyone knows, including [MLB Commissioner] Rob Manfred, that Las V...They said it: Moving the homeless for the fancy people
