Google Maps won't create a walking path between Hedding and Guadalupe Pkwy, anyone know why?
I try to map out long walks and runs by mileage and I noticed that this stretch on Hedding between First and Guadalupe is completely rerouted to side streets no matter how many times I try to put a pin down onto that section. What would be the reasoning for this? Its definitely accessible with sidewalks and bike lanes. It also regularly has pedestrians on it.

Why doesn't Capitol Corridor stop at West Oakland BART?
It runs so close and I read it was suggested in the 80s and 90s, seems like a no brainer for me

Bay Area Transit Agencies Saved $1 Billion Since 2020
"The state-required financial efficiency review report, released Friday, credits the operating cost savings to temporary service reductions, wage and hiring freezes and scaling back or deferring new projects. For BART, that meant $516 million in savings, for SFMTA, nearly $300 million, for AC transit, $200 million and for Caltrain, $76 million."
