Haste Street

Berkeley City Council announced a new sister city program, funding for traffic safety updates and a waste rate schedule in Tuesday meetings.

The city filed a notice of violation against Berkeley’s ‘so-called’ chess club — an arrangement of tables and chairs that meets daily at the corner of Telegraph Avenue and Haste Street.

On Wednesday, a 29-year-old man was arrested on Haste Street after allegedly approaching a 19-year-old campus student and grabbing her buttocks. 

On May 2, 2017, the city of Berkeley approved the Berkeley Bicycle Plan 2017. The plan recommended a network of bike facilities that would connect Berkeley as a whole, making it possible for people to get around without unsafe intersections and high volumes of traffic.

In an unannounced overnight move, UC Berkeley began the process of fencing off People’s Park for construction of student housing Wednesday morning. 

Turning left from busy Telegraph Avenue onto Haste Street, a glass door opens appealingly to a brand-new restaurant in between two student residential buildings, Enclave Apartments and Maximino Martinez Commons.

UCPD is responding to a reported fire on the 2400 block of Bowditch Street, according to a UC Berkeley WarnMe notification at 12:07 p.m.

After several calls at approximately 12:30 p.m., BPD arrested a man on the corner of Telegraph Avenue and Haste Street following reports of alleged fighting and possible involvement of a gun, according to BPD spokesperson Byron White.

An unknown suspect has fled after setting a pile of clothes and other items aflame at People's Park, according to a campus WarnMe email.

The proposed project will establish a two-way protected bike lane, traffic signal improvements and a bus boarding island on Dana Street between Bancroft Way and Dwight Way. To allow for emergency vehicle access and the construction of the bus boarding island and protected bikeway, on-street parking and commercial and passenger loading zones will be moved from the west to the east side of the street.
