News and opinion on Redmond, WA. neighborhoods, schools, and local governments.

Bluesky post by Bike League Policy Director Ken McLeod. Sean Duffy, the corrupt B-list reality TV personality cosplaying as Trump's Transportation Secretary, is trying to put language in the transportation reauthorization bill that would restrict bike lanes on the misleadingly-named "National Highway System." This system includes a lot of regular city streets (map), including streets like Eastlake Ave where a federally-funded project is currently building new protected bike lanes. The system also includes many of Seattle's most dangerous streets, such as Rainier Ave S, Aurora Ave N, Fauntleroy Way SW, 4th Ave S and many more, streets big enough that Federal funding might be needed to help cover the significant cost to repave and rebuild them.
