@metropolitanglide.bsky.social I love your latest article! I’m really appreciating the higher levels of criticism towards Sound Transit lately, it’s definitely deserved. (For others, please go read it!!) www.theurbanist.org/deadline-arr...

Deadline Approaches for Outside Ideas to Curb Costs on Ballard Light Rail
Transit advocates are criticizing Sound Transit's process to solicit outside ideas to reduce Ballard Link costs and accelerate the timeline. The Request for Information process was poorly publicized, ...

Here @apnews.com I fixed this headline for you. He didn't use a "rare authority" he violated the constitution. You're blatantly buying into administration talking points by saying he has "authority" to just decide not to spend Congressionally approved funds at the last minute

@kccclaudia.bsky.social I know you know better than to appoint a career politician who stands to gain financially by influencing the location of a station to be CEO of a transit agency. So much talk about experts being in charge rather than politicians and you didn’t even vote no? Explain yourself.

Donald Trump and Dow Constantine are both equally qualified to run a transit agency. Why? Because a politician is NEVER the right person for the job of Transit Agency CEO.

The Sound Transit board just unanimously approved a $10 million budget amendment to advance a previously deferred 700 stall parking garage at Renton Transit Center. This project is expected to ultimately cost $142,857 per parking stall.

Thank god that pedestrian street is removed and drivers can reach the I-5 express lanes slightly quicker. That was a really rough patch but we got though it by banding together.

I was shocked (though I shouldn't have been) to learn, upon listening to Tuesday's public safety committee meeting today, that SPD chief Sayles explicitly said former chief Barnes delayed the Bite of Seattle press conference to be briefed, given that every headline said it was Mayor Wilson.

I very much hope board members vote against this. He has simply failed to deliver effective oversight and leadership of our transit agency. Sound Transit needs major reforms and they have not been coming under Dow's leadership.

It’s almost as if they don’t want serious responses. their staff wrote a memo in April reviewing our proposal. Tips their hand that they aren’t receptive to new ideas. TLDR: they agree ST costs out of whack with global peers but ST is too unique to learn from others docsend.com/v/2zkp2/boar...

More details: one trainset will run Seattle-Vancouver, and one will run Seattle-Portland, with a third standing by as a spare. The trainset type should be visible when making a reservation at some point in the future, according to WSDOT.

The news clearly has better things to do like convince everyone that $30M/yr will plug a $35B gap for Sound Transit and get us all to turn on our neighbors who can’t afford fares instead of the oligarchs who created and benefit from this situation.

Even if she did mean "nonfatal," those numbers would also be way too high. Across the entire county (which is almost 3 times the population of Seattle), there were 319 nonfatal shooting victims in 2024. cdn.kingcounty.gov/-/media/king...

"I'll say that fatal shootings in 2012 were 211, and in 2024 there were 541. And post-pandemic, it increased exponentially," Rivera said. None of these things are true. There were 26 fatal shootings in 2012 and 55 in 2024.

#meme from #TheGoodPlace #Chidi #IWantToStartCrying
A 4-panel meme format with screenshots and quotes from The Good Place.
Panel 1: A customer at a food stand staring intensely at the options inside the display.
Panel 2: The employee at the stand asks “What do you want?”
Panel 3: The customer, still looking at the choices but with his body facing the employee, starts “I want…”
Panel 4: The customer is now fully facing the employee but with his head down finishes “to start crying”
