Car-Free Market Street starts January 29

Image
Car-Free Market Street starts January 29 By Phillip Pierce Better Market Street is set to transform our city’s busiest street for people walking, biking and riding transit over the next few years, but we don’t need to wait for construction to make it safer and improve Muni. Starting on January 29th through our Quick-build program , Market Street will become car-free eastbound from 10 th to Main and westbound from Steuart to Van Ness. In addition to restricting private vehicles, the quick-build includes extending Muni only lanes, new loading zones and much-needed intersection safety improvements. Figure 1: Map of changes coming late January 2020 . Figure 4: Rendering including Better Market Street’s sidewalk level bike lane, new trees and improved streetscape elements.   These changes can’t come soon enough because unfortunately,  Market Street is home to half of the top 10 intersections for pedestrian and bicycle collisions.   In fact, each year since 2014...

Year-End Highlights from the SFMTA Photo Archive By Jeremy Menzies As we approach the close of 2019, here's a short "year in review" of our favorite history blog posts of the year. So climb aboard and have your ticket to the past ready, 'cause this trip back in time is about to depart! First on this year's list is our celebration of the 80th anniversary of the 1939 Golden Gate International Exhibition   on Treasure Island. We unveiled dozens of beautiful large-format photos of the GGIE in our February post. A view of Treasure Island and the Golden Gate International Exposition from Yerba Buena Island circa 1939. The "Tower of the Sun" and other fairground buildings were transformed at night into canvases for intensely colorful light displays. Following the GGIE up in March was our post on historic Muni women in celebration of Women's History Month. Muni's first female inspector, Evelyn Wells, monitors a bus line in this 1979 shot. Ap...

How To Tie A Tie Knot

How To Tie A Tie Knot Drape the tie around your collar with the seam facing inward and the thick end on your left, two or three inches lower than your desired finishing position. Bring the thick end horizontally across the front of the narrow end, and then pass it back horizontally behind the narrow end. Pass the thick end again across the front of the knot from left to right. Now pass the thick end again behind the knot horizontally from right to left. Pass the thick end AGAIN across the front of the knot from left to right. Slip a finger under this third horizontal loop. Bring the tip of the thick end up underneath the loop around your collar and feed it up behind the knot, down over the front of the knot and through that third horizontal loop. Pull the thick end through the horizontal loop and snug it down. Adjust the tie by holding the knot in one hand and pulling gently on the narrow end with the other.

A Programmer Lost A Game He Made As A Kid, Until Someone Streamed It On Twitch If you’re interested in game design, you’ve probably made a few side projects or prototypes. If you were lucky, you might have had the means to start early in life and made a few games as a kid. These usually end up deleted or lost on rotting hard drives. You definitely don’t expect them to show up twenty years later on a random live stream. Rick Brewster is a programmer and the author of Paint.NET, a free replacement for Microsoft Paint that’s expanded to have features similar to image creation programs like Photoshop and GIMP. In 1994, at the age of 12, Brewster made  The Golden Flute IV: The Flute of Immortality , a DOS-based roleplaying game inspired by a text adventure from a 1984 instructional book on how to write adventure games. He wrote  The Golden Flute IV  on a Tandy 1000 TL/2, an IBM clone computer. The game plays like a traditional role-pla...

'The Mandalorian' returns with season two in fall 2020 It's no secret that a  second season of  The Mandalorian  is in the works, but when does it show up? Roughly a year from now, apparently. Series overseer Jon Favreau has  confirmed  that the follow-up will premiere on Disney+ in fall 2020, or roughly a year after the  Star Wars  live action series began. He's still not saying what it'll entail (the Gamorrean isn't necessarily a clue), but this will be reassuring to anyone panicking at having to go without a fix of their favorite bounty hunter. It's not at all shocking that Disney would greenlight another season. Even if expectations weren't high before  The Mandalorian 's debut, it's clearly the marquee show for Disney+ -- it was so popular that Disney  scrambled to offer merch  after seemingly being caught off-guard. And while Disney is expanding its repertoire of streaming originals, the catalog is curr...
