This week’s Southside brief looks at Berkeley’s mobile crisis cuts, Telegraph maintenance delays, RV policy, police accountability, and transportation access for seniors and disabled residents.

Every morning before most of Berkeley is awake, Telegraph Avenue is already being cared for. After spending time with the Telegraph Ambassador team and attending the Telegraph Business Improvement District annual meeting, I came away with a deeper appreciation for the people whose daily work keeps Southside clean, welcoming, and economically vibrant. Telegraph’s future depends less on one transformative project than on consistent stewardship, responsive government, and investing in the people who show up every day.
