In oakland for several years now. Sometimes its one car performing as you can see there. Sometimes two or three. And there was a crowd of about one to two hundred people watching. Its dangerous. Those cars can easily veer out of control into the crowd. Where were the police . First we saw a few patrol cars standing by. Then more cars arrived blocking in everybody at the scene both spectators and those doing the sideshow and then some people tried to flee. It looks like they used a red van to smash through a cyclone fence near the Railroad Tracks and got caught on the fence. Then you see some people there trying to help free it.

Ken, always in transportation theres a bit of politics, a lot more than we think. And always a lot of money involved. Things are never cheap. Lets not forget theyre also thinking about putting a bike lane on the bridge from Treasure Island in to San Francisco and just studying that costs 10 million. Phil matier. Thank you. They hope to have that bike path op
