MUNI 3rd Street Lightrail Going Nowhere - stops at Visitation Valley

The MUNI 3rd Street Lightrail Project is a fiasco. The rails are in place and it stops and looks at the Cow Place when it could have gone all the way to Ocean Beach and served a larger constituency.

Then we have two bridges that are being worked on - it is not as if they have to be built from the foundation. One of them at Marin Street on 3rd Street and closer to Cargo Street. It is a mess. Traffic stops and particulates are spewed by the tons into the air, water, and land.

The other at 4th and King both bridges are being retrofitted by Mitchell Engineering.

Both bridges should have been in place two years ago. There are cost over runs in the millions and the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) is mum. If this nonsense had happened in a White Neighborhood there would be a hue and cry and every one would be in arms. Are we dealing with Zombies? What does Mayor Gavin Newsom have to say? What does the Supervisor that chases his tail Bevan Dufty have to say? What does Joke McGoldrick have to say? Did I say Joke? He Chairs the SFCTA Commission and runs his mouth as if there was no tomorrow.

In the Bayview no one really cares because no one wants to take on Sophie Maxwell the inept very arrogant Supervisor from District 10 that panders to certain folks most dubious in nature:
