Local Agencies

Several local agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area use the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) pavement management system (PMS) that requires a pavement condition index (PCI) as the primary condition measure. This PCI is based on distress types, severities, and quantities. However, several of these local agencies must also submit present serviceability rating (PSR) data on a sample of their network for use in the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS). Currently, these agencies use a trained rater to determine a subjective PSR value for each HPMS section to report to FHWA and another set of trained raters to inspect the pavement for surface observable distress from which the PCI is calculated. A study was performed to develop mathematical models to relate the PCI used in the MTC PMS to the subjective PSR submitted by local agencies for FHWA’s HPMS reports. Regression equations were developed to predict the PSR values, as defined for HPMS, from Bay Area PCI values and subcomponents of the PCI. These equations have R2 values that show moderate to strong relationships between the HPMS PSR and the MTC PCI. They provide reasonable values at or near the boundaries of the PSR scale. The local agencies using the Bay Area PMS can use these equations to estimate a PSR value from the inspection required for the PMS without inspecting pavement sections a second time.

Drag Queens

Researchers and practitioners have much to learn from drag queens, specifically Latinx queens, as they leverage everyday queerness and brownness in ways that contribute to pedagogy locally and globally, individually and collectively. Drawing on previous work examining the digital queer gestures of drag queen educators (Lizárraga & Cortez, 2019), this essay explores how non-dominant people that exist and fluctuate in the in-between of boundaries of gender, race, sexuality, the physical, and the virtual provide pedagogical overtures for imagining and organizing for new possible futures that are equitable and just. Further animated by Donna Haraway’s (2006) influential feminist post-humanist work, we interrogate how Latinx drag queens as cyborgs use digital technologies to enhance their craft and engage in powerful pedagogical moves. This essay draws from robust analyses of the digital presence of and interviews with two Latinx drag queens in the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as the online presence of a Xicanx doggie drag queen named RuPawl. Our participants actively drew on their liminality to provoke and mobilize communities around socio-political issues. In this regard, we see them engaging in transformative public cyborg jotería pedagogies that are made visible and historicized in the digital and physical world.

Experience Of Time

Traversing the kaleidoscope of memory of early adulthood in the San Francisco bay area, David Ulin describes the places as he remembers them with picturesque account: Andrew Molera State Park, Fort Mason, Marin Headlands, Old Waldorf, and Sutro Tower, with the particulars, and what happened to his experience of time in those places that summer of 1980. Experienced as a series of fleeting memories, joining together with others who lived there for a time. They left, and so did the author, experiencing the power of temporality or “abandon” both in and from this place.
