BART Reschedules Transbay Tube Work

Saturday work delayed to accommodate football fans; expect some transbay delays Sunday.

By Bay City News Service

BART is delaying work in the Transbay Tube tonight to accommodate an increased passenger load following Saturday's San Francisco 49ers game.

Routine construction work to replace a track in the Transbay Tube was originally scheduled for 8 p.m. but has been pushed back to 10 p.m., according to BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost. Riders on BART from 10 p.m. until 4 p.m. Sunday may experience delays of up to 10 minutes during the construction work, and some may need to transfer trains to reach their destination, Trost said.

Of all the concerns in our society, I put this just about dead last.

Hmm. So I think you're telling me I need to add the countdown timers to the long list of BerkeleyRead More idiosyncrasies I need to ignore? I guess can do that. Thanks. --Murph

This is very interesting. I bicycle and walk a lot around Berkeley. I think i know exactly whatRead More signal is being referred to the walk sign across Bancroft at MLK specifically will reset itself. many of the walk signals rely on induction loops which are loops placed in the ground that can detect Bicycles and Cars when the Bicycles or cars pass over them disrupting the current. You can often see these loops as they look like hexagonal saw cuts in the ground. Anyways the intersection detects traffic with these devices & if it doesn't detect anything then it assumes nothing is there and gives right of way to the major throughway in this case being MLK. So the reason the counter to cross Bancroft resets itself is totally logical because the intersection suspects no one is there and since that side of Bancroft is more or less residential there would be no point in setting that intersection to a timer where it gives priority to one light then the other & switches based on that & not on wether it detects any bicycles or cars passing over the induction loops. Also this is Berkeley and we are rather quirky and always have been so nobody exactly fallows the rules or knows about them its funny how simple crossing the street really is but its anything but simple in reality. Many people choose to jay walk if its safe to do so, this is typical on Shattuck at alston especially and makes sense for efficiency but isn't very safe or lawful. If the hand is flashing/Counting down dont cross!
