More than four years after local leaders drew national attention when they set out to end single-family zoning in Berkeley, a proposal that would put that pledge into action will go before the City Council next week. The legislation would significantly change zoning rules for the city’s flatland neighborhoods, by allowing property owners to build three-story apartment buildings with a fast-tracked approval process in areas that effectively banned multi-family housing for decades.

After an Ohio advertising firm won city approval to plant touch-screen information kiosks around Berkeley, critics questioned whether anyone would actually use the devices that resemble 8-foot-tall iPads. The number of “IKE Smart City” kiosks on Berkeley sidewalks more than doubled last year, from nine to 22. So Berkeleyside sought out data from the company that manufactures the devices, Orange Barrel Media, to find out how popular they are and how people use them.

A federal judge on Tuesday opened the door for Berkeley to evict some unhoused residents from a large encampment at the intersection of Eighth and Harrison streets. But Judge Edward Chen temporarily barred the city from launching a sweep of the entire camp — like the one it attempted last week — by ordering Berkeley officials to work out accommodations for encampment residents who have physical and mental disabilities.

A woman was hit by a BART train at the North Berkeley station Monday morning, according to the Berkeley Fire Department. The 46-year-old woman was struck by a train just after 10 a.m., Deputy Fire Chief Keith May said. She was taken to an emergency room with “critical injuries,” said May, who did not share further information about her condition. BART spokesperson Chris Filippi said there was no indication of foul play in the incident.
