Some features could definitely be better matched but I'm pretty satisfied with this model. I'll be curious to see how well the unseen portions of the model match reality if/when more imagery is released. 1101

Reposted by DilongSeattle Bike Blog @seattlebikeblog.com · 22/05/2026Seattle Times opinion piece on Vision Zero is dangerously misleading #SEAbikes #Seattleseattlebikeblog.comSeattle Times opinion piece on Vision Zero is dangerously misleadingFrom the Seattle Times. Seattle Library card holders can access the story here. "Spending on safety isn't making Seattle streets less hazardous" This unequivocal headline in the Seattle Times is completely false. The op-ed it is attached to uses a very misleading analysis of available data to draw the unsupported conclusion that safe streets projects actually make Seattle more dangerous, not less. In fact, the author argues without a shred of evidence, safety would improve if the city instead focused on reducing car congestion. The most obvious and glaring issue that supersedes all the others in this piece is that the vast majority of Seattle's traffic deaths an injuries are happening on wide multi-lane streets where Seattle has not yet invested in a significant safety project. 55613
