Oh, man, oh, man. It sure was a nasty week for our beloved despised Muni system. It culminated with this morning’s total Muni breakdown and concurrent MTA board budget meeting. Ironic, eh?
Here are some other headlines from this grim week:
- SFGate lays out the numbers on the MTA budget deficits.
- MTA board member keeps pressure on mayor to extend parking meter hours to close budget gap.
- Pedestrian injured in N-Judah accident in the Inner Sunset. Earlier that day, the N-Judah and a car collided.
- 57 claims arise from last year’s West Portal collision.
- The Examiner reports on the closing of the Montgomery Station sales booth.
(it’s been such a nutty week, please let us know what stories we missed here or simply forgot about)
Looking ahead, you’ll have yet some more chances to give MTA your $0.02, at upcoming Feb. 6 and 9 town halls. Sharpen those pitchforks, people!
Seriously, though, have a great weekend! See you Monday.
P.S.: The photo at top was chosen for its symbolism given the current state of affairs for Muni. Please excuse our cynicism.
