BART will allow bikes on all trains at all times on December 1st.

Effective December 1, BART will allow bikes on all trains at all times—with the exception of the peak commute hours (7 am to 9 am and 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm) when bikes will not be allowed to board the first three cars of any train. The first three car rule provides an option for those who want to avoid bikes altogether.

Other safety rules relating to bikes will still apply:

• no bikes allowed in the first train car at any time;
• bikes are never allowed on crowded trains;
• bicyclists must yield priority seating to seniors and those with disabilities; and
• bikes are not to block doorways or aisles and are not allowed on escalators.

A major, long-term mountain lion research project is now under way in the East Bay.

More than half of California is considered mountain lion habitat. For over 20 years scientists have wanted to study these elusive creatures in the East Bay because it’s interspersed with large areas of public open space lands and highly altered landscapes with high human density. Now a consortium of agencies has pulled together for a long-term study that will focus on the density of mountain lions in the East Bay; their movements and dispersal, corridors and barriers; and population viability in a landscape altered by humans.
