MUNI 3rd Street Lightrail Going Nowhere - stops at Visitation Valley
Over $650 million has been spent on MUNI 3rd Street Lightrail and it is going no where. Check it out it stops at Visitation Valley when it could have gone further to Ocean Beach and served a better purpose. Then we have two bridges under construction that should have been in place two years ago. One at Marin Street closer to Cargo Street and the other at 4th and King.

The Mileage-Per-Gallon Fraud
After buying a hybrid a few months ago, I soon learned that the car was not achieving the projected miles per gallon. I heard from others that all cars fall below the EPA estimated gas mileage, but in my case the numbers were not even close. Fortunately, the current issue of Sierra magazine provides the details behind EPA’s misleading estimates, and the situation is even worse than suspected.
