SFMTA and the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) will be co-hosting a virtual public workshop recognizing the need for a new transbay rail crossing between San Francisco and Oakland on Monday, June 28th at 6:30 pm.  To watch the live event, please visit the program website.

The workshop is hosted by Link21, a long-range transportation program sponsored by the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) and the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (Capitol Corridor). Link21 is committed to a faster, more connected system, providing safe, efficient, and affordable travel for everyone throughout the Northern California Megaregion that encompasses the San Francisco Bay Area, the Monterey Bay area, the Sacramento area, and the Northern San Joaquin Valley. To participate in a preliminary survey and submit your feedback, please visit the program comment form.

SFMTA Director of Transportation, Jeffrey Tumlin and SFCTA Executive Director, Tilly Chang will introduce the proposal for a new transbay crossing as a solution to the challenges of increased travel demands, overcrowding and congestion on our regional transportation system. Link21 aims to increase connections between affordable housing and high-quality jobs. Additional goals and objectives are to support ongoing SFMTA projects, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality and create viable alternatives to driving.

The existing transbay corridor which includes BART, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, buses, and ferry service is currently the most congested in the Northern California Megaregion, and one of the most congested corridors in the United States.  As such, Link21  proposes a new transbay rail crossing project to provide additional service across the Bay and improve Northern California's livability, economic competitiveness, and environment.

The workshop will feature live, interactive surveys where viewers can provide live feedback on what is most important to their transit wants and needs. Link21 will be providing additional surveys after the event as well as a second workshop this Fall 2021. For more information on Link21, please visit their website.

You're invited! 6/28 6:30 PM PST, Link21 Virtual Public Workshop for San Francisco. Co-hosted by: San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, San Francisco County Transportation Authority. For more information visit Line21Program.org/events. Logos: Link21, BART, Capitol Corridor

Show HN: Interactive exercises for GNU grep, sed and awk https://ift.tt/OxeFwah

Show HN: Interactive exercises for GNU grep, sed and awk Hello! For the past few months, I've been using a Python framework called Textual to create TUI apps for interactive exercises. Released the app for GNU awk earlier today, so thought I'd create a post here. If you already know how to manage Python packages, you can use the following command to get all the three apps: pip install grepexercises sedexercises awkexercises `pipx` should also work, but I haven't tested it. The GitHub repo has the source code as well as more detailed installation instructions. You can use alternative CLI tools to solve these exercises as well. For example, Perl instead of GNU awk or ripgrep instead of GNU grep and so on. Hope you find these TUI apps useful. I'd highly appreciate your feedback. Happy learning :) https://ift.tt/Hp9kFEi August 17, 2023 at 05:13PM
