The Van Ness Improvement Project in SF

The Van Ness Improvement Project is a major civic improvement project that will renovate the avenue from sidewalk to sidewalk, 15 feet below the ground to 30 feet above the ground. The construction has been planned to maintain as much on-street parking as possible and to minimize the impacts on neighbors. This animation gives an overview of the work being done on Van Ness over the next three years.

Bridges and Tunnels: from 2 to 3 and eventually 4 lanes in each direction

With just a pair of lanes in each direction -- and no shoulders -- it doesn't take much for the 4.7-mile flat section of the span between Hayward and Foster City to back up, especially during the westbound morning commute. Growth in traffic -- more than 81,000 vehicles a day now travel the bridge -- overwhelm the two lanes and the toll plaza. An accident or stall can bring traffic to a standstill.

Victoria: Capital Regional District

Victoria has a mild warm summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csb)[17] with mild, rainy winters and cool, dry and sunny summers.[18] Other climate classification systems, such as Trewartha, place it in the Oceanic zone (Do).[19] Although Victoria is farther north than such "winter" cities as Ottawa, Quebec City, Minneapolis, and Zurich, westerly winds from the Pacific Ocean keep Victoria's winter temperatures substantially higher, with an average January temperature of 5.0 °C (41 °F) compared to Ottawa, the nation's capital, with −10.2 °C (14 °F).

The Capital Regional District (CRD) is a local government administrative district encompassing the southern tip of Vancouver Island and the southern Gulf Islands in the Canadian province of British Columbia. The CRD is one of several regional districts in British Columbia and had an official population of 383,360 as of the Canada 2016 Census.[3]
The CRD encompasses the thirteen municipalities of Greater Victoria and the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area on Vancouver Island, the Salt Spring Electoral Area, and the Southern Gulf Islands Electoral Area. Its headquarters is in the City of Victoria, although there are many office and operational facilities throughout the region. The total land area is 2,341.11 km2 (903.91 sq mi).
The CRD was formed in 1966 as a federation of seven municipalities and five electoral areas to provide coordination of regional issues and local government in rural areas in the Greater Victoria region.
