Streetsblog California launched short video channels on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts and released four short videos, approaching 1,500 total views. The outlets produced videos covering a farewell to Benito Flores, a Caltrans Reclaimer who occupied unused Caltrans housing, and a response by Bike Bakersfield and CalBike to a grand jury report urging slower bike safety expansion; the city has not complied. A video covered a judge approving expansion of the Yolo Causeway despite environmentalists' concerns about Caltrans' legal compliance. Another video showed House Oversight scrutiny of California High-Speed Rail and USDOT study announcements, with more coverage anticipated.
Today, we're introducing a new Friday afternoon series at Streetsblog California looking back at our week in short videos. In case you missed it, this week we launched (or re-launched in the case of YouTube) short video channels at TikTok, Instagram, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts. We released four videos and we're closing in on 1,500 views across all four platforms. These numbers are hardly setting the world on fire, but they're a good start and should grow in the coming months and years.
The first was a goodbye to our friend and frequent podcast guest Benito Flores, one of the Caltrans Reclaimers who moved in and occupied unused housing that Caltrans purchased for a free expansion project that never happened. Second, we looked back at a story Streetsblog published the previous week on an action by Bike Bakersfield, and Calbike to push back on a May grand jury report that recommended the city slow down on bike safety expansion.
