45 minute delays on 3rd Street as people wait to get to work and no solution in sight.

by Francisco Da Costa
45 minute delays on 3rd Street linked to the T-Third Street Light Rail and no solution in sight. The $700 million plus project, the dream of such folks as Willie L. Brown Jr., Sophie Maxwell, the House Negroes that are on the take is failing and the dream is a nightmare. Daily hard working tax paying passengers wait, and wait and wait for the T-Third to show up on time for work, school and to go places. The delays are longer and people are frustrated.
Our Board of Supervisors (BOS) all of them share the blame for the mess that the T-Third Street Light Rail is causing to so many innocent tax paying constituents.

We have discussed this situation here and most agree about the mess. There are some that have no clue about Transportation Issues that have chosen to bring in the Queer Element and this is fine. Inject the Queer element - if it is relevant and we can have a dialog. But most will hide behind the keyboard - they will not reveal their name. So much for accountability and transparency.

We have Tom Ammiano the Queen, Bevan Dufty and Jose from the SF County Transportation Agency (SFCTA) who have been bragging that they have everything under control linked to Transportation issues. Only to find out that the situation is a mess.

Could these fools have had something to do with it? How many millions did these fools approve?
Did these fools pay attention to Public Comment? Can the Federal Bureau of Investigation step in and find out when these fools headed the SFCTA Commission - whether they were privy to sound information and chose not to do the right thing? Perhaps, they are on the take?

I have NOT heard Bevan Dufty and Tom Ammiano speak about the T-Third Street Light Rail and the problems this line is causing to thousands. The two were present for the event on Saturday, April 14, 2007 at the Bayview Park. Both headed the SFCTA Commission and know what I am talking about.

Sophie Maxwell has NOT said a word and she will not say much - she has been on the take.

The SF County Transportation Agency (SFCTA) has the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and the one representing District 10 is Fran Martin. Not a word from Fran Martin. Most of the T-Third Street Light Rail project is in District 10. No input from the dummy.

I have not heared a word from the CAC to the SFCTA and Maria Lombardi the Assistant Director to Jose who is the Director of SFCTA - who loves to consult with Bevan Duty - every opportunity he gets behind close doors.

Under the FOIA could we ask for the film taped on the City Hall cameras about these trips to Tom Ammiano and Bevan Dufty's offices by Jose M. from the SFCTA?

The T-Third Street Light Rail tracks are not aligned and have damaged the trains.

This has been going on for some months now and no one is taking responsibility for the damaged trains. It has cost the City and County of San Francisco - thousands of dollars to repair these damaged trains.

Has the Main Media reported about this? How did I find out about this fact? Can anyone else find out about this very serious fact? Just a matter of time when the trains - jump the track and hundreds could get injured and some die.

Two days ago some structural engineers visited the bridge at 4th and King - the bridge is in bad shape and was never meant to handle very heavy traffic - less trains that are heavy and vibrate and cause further damage. Is the City aware of this very serious liability?

There was much fun fare with many folks who had not done their home work bragging about the
T-Third Street Light Rail. Now most of them are silent. Many of them good friends of Tom Ammiano and Bevan Dufty and Jose M.

The Board of Supervisors (BOS) now wants to take on the MUNI drivers and the Union. Well, let them try this ploy and you will see they will fail. The Supervisors are to blame not the MUNI drivers. Aaron Peskin should be checked on before he run his mouth and cause further damage.

Very simple solution on one nice day - especially when we have a choice game - the Union can decide to take action - slow action - and the BOS will learn a fast action.

Without taking any action there is already congestion on the track from Visitation Valley to Castro in San Francisco - all because of poor planning and lack of logistics.

The traffic snarls are many and the problems lies more at the Castro Line end. Very bad idea to involve such slow trains traveling all the way to Castro and back and further bringing added problems to solve any quick fix.

Only is San Francisco with such folks as Tom Ammino, Bevan Dufty, and Jake McGoldrick all inept, ignorant, and very arrogant folk on Transportation Issues could San Francisco land in such a sordid mess.

But, never mind these folks are never wrong.

And when you tell the truth some jerks will call on one's ability to write in the English language. Never mind that I speak several languages and that English is the worst and down the totem pole when it comes to my choice of sound languages and the best communication. It is the only one some fools understand - so I have to make hay while the sun shines.

The main media will not discuss some of the issues we take on here and write when we get the time.

It is not as if I spend hours draft and try to see how best to use the best sentence and choice words. If I was given the choice to use words - many of you know in telling the truth - the pussyfooting would have been exposed and a can of worms opened by real choice words.

The T-Third is a mess and some one must step up and fix the many problems - now.

Bring back the MUNI 15 Bus that ran on time and took you faster any place you wanted to go.

The Department of Transportation must stop all funds and grants to the SFCTA and this must be halted at once. Some drastic action must be taken to bring some sense to the whackoes at City Hall.

The Mayor is busy spending quality time with extra curricula activities.

Who will fix the T-Third Street Light Rail and get the folks on time to work, to school, and to their destinations?

No excuses and stop the pussyfooting. Let us get educated on Transportation Issues not the English language which is one of the worst in the world to speak, write, express, or discuss. But, how would dumb fools know - when they are one track and speak but one lousy language.
