The new gates will first be rolled out at the West Oakland Station in December. The transit agency announced this week they were awarded the contract for nearly 800 new fare gates. The goal is to not only deter fare evasion but to improve access. The $90 million project is being paid for by county, federal and state funds along with BART.  People in Hawaii flee into ocean to escape wildfires that are burning a popular Maui tourist town “We know BART loses millions of dollars to fare evasion and at the same time we do offer low income discounts and discounts for youth,” said Alicia Trost BART Chief Communications Officer. "But we do charge a fare and we need people to pay their fares especially as remote work is so popular and we’re trying to get more and more people to take BART for other reasons than a work commute."BART will study how the new gates work this December.

Fall leaves set to be more colorful than usual

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:08:04 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- It's almost time for the leaves to start changing colors, and this year will be extra special. FOX31 spoke with an arborist who expects the leaves to be more vibrant than ever. "This is going to be one of the most colorful seasons I've seen in 20 years," said Jonathan Raleigh, a certified arborist at SavATree. Why do leaves change color? The color of the leaves will be different than in other years because it's of the rainiest years in Colorado, said Raleigh. According to FOX31's meteorologist Travis Michels, Denver collected 17.7 inches of rain for the first half of the year and expects it to be one of the top 10 wettest years in Colorado if the precipitation continues. The amount of rain affects the leaves because, with more moisture, there's more growth."With the extra moisture, it brings up more nutrients from the root zone that enhance the fall colors. Trees are fuller and healthier with the proper watering so they will have better fall foliage," said Raleig...
