iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I seem to recall my friend Laura Laker say there was a change that gave pedestrians right of way at side road junctions but UK traffic law confuses me with all the shoulds and musts so it’s possible I misinterpreted.

I would, however, like a prominent public information campaign urging drivers to give way to pedestrians at side road intersections. The give way markings, in practice, seem only to apply to other drivers.

It's great that people are looking for solutions but stop signs aren't it.

I wonder if the number/location/size of trees on Oxford Street is limited by the Central Line and Elizabeth Line running underneath.

@sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social took the lead on this transformation and he will take the W when it succeeds.

Oxford Street will be pedestrianized on October 26th with permanent elements to be completed next year. Here are the first renderings.

That is a good question. I had been thinking of writing a cheat sheet. In the meantime, getting involved with your local @streetsalliance.bsky.social group is a great way to start. That’s how I started.

I’m curious how many people have been killed or injured by influencers recording videos behind the wheel.

Thank you for saving me from more than 8 minutes of embarrassment.

The best leaders—especially those who choose a career in public service—start by listening. That's what Greg did every day as Director.

Ok now I am being told Monday Night Football is not a women’s basketball show at all.

I think it has less of a point but it could be something useful depending on how KC Metro designs the service.

Good opportunity to ask when we can expect to have a permanent SDOT director.

I just caught a glimpse of Monday Night Football and the Hawkeyes seem to be doing pretty well.

📞 Every month, I sit down with the great journalists at @kuow.org to field their questions — and yours! Today, I talked about my proposed budget, my shelter expansion, and more. I hope you’ll give me call next month on November 2nd at noon on KUOW! 📞

TCC's Hall of Fame picks are always spot on. Not a single Milli Vanilli in the bunch.

The Norton Building (1959), Seattle's first glass curtain wall building, was reglazed while I worked there (2000) but it was mainly for better energy performance. (The west side got insanely hot on summer afternoons.)

I proposed a bus lane in that block of Mercer a few years ago. Only the bike lane elements of this plan have been built.

The zigzags irk me but check out these proposed bus lanes on Mercer.

Back when it was a consolation prize for the lack of bus lanes on Denny, I wasn't super stoked about the Harrison-Mercer Transit Access Project, but now my mind is changing.

Tomorrow is an opportunity for budget testimony at Seattle City Council - last few Mayors over promised with one time budget items but this administration is trying something different. They actually don’t want to push off things to future. Some Council want reelection not fiscal responsibility.
