His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"rlevi":{"type":"authors","id":"11260","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"11260","found":true},"name":"Ryan Levi","firstName":"Ryan","lastName":"Levi","slug":"rlevi","email":"rlevi@KQED.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":[],"title":"KQED Contributor","bio":"Ryan Levi was a reporter and podcast producer at KQED News from 2016-2019.

The bridge would likely need to be strengthened to accommodate the added load of shifting barriers on a two-path bridge, and state environmental laws would require an analysis to determine if the proposal would increase the total “vehicle miles traveled” on the bridge — a metric that measures the total amount of distance traveled by motor vehicles in an area over a period of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the lane were found to increase vehicle miles traveled, we would need to provide mitigation for that, and that would increase the cost for a third lane,” Klein said. “But a high occupancy vehicle lane is less likely to have an impact on VMT than a general purpose lane.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council also claims that their proposal will help alleviate the poor air quality that plagues residents of the city of Richmond — home to a coal terminal, an oil refinery, railroads and highways, as well as various other heavy industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11971763\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11971763\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/240103-RSR-BIKE-LANE-MD-03-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A bike lane on a large bridge on which cars are also driving.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/240103-RSR-BIKE-LANE-MD-03-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/240103-RSR-BIKE-LANE-MD-03-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/240103-RSR-BIKE-LANE-MD-03-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/240103-RSR-BIKE-LANE-MD-03-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/240103-RSR-BIKE-LANE-MD-03-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/240103-RSR-BIKE-LANE-MD-03-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The upper deck of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge on Jan. 3, 2024. \u003ccite>(Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.psehealthyenergy.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Richmond-Air-Monitoring-Network_Final-Report.pdf\">2022 study\u003c/a> by PSE Healthy Energy, fine particulate matter concentrations “were generally elevated and hovered around or exceeded the federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards 3-year annual average in many Richmond-San Pablo neighborhoods.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grubb said that a third lane would reduce congestion and, therefore, improve air quality and its associated health impacts on Richmond residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Air pollution is a big concern everywhere, but in particular, it’s a big concern in Richmond,” he added. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘Air pollution is a big concern everywhere, but in particular, it’s a big concern in Richmond.’","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","citation":"John Grubb, chief operating officer, Bay Area Council","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>But Metropolitan Transportation Commission staff have said congestion isn’t the biggest contributor to fine particulate air pollution — it’s the amount of cars on the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The majority of particulate matter in the Richmond community as elsewhere in the Bay Area is from road dust, brake wear, and tire wear, these are non-exhaust emissions,” said Klein of the MTC during the November meeting of the Bay Area Toll Authority Oversight Committee. “Reducing congestion on 580 is not, in fact, likely to significantly reduce the vehicle emissions that most impact health in the community.
