LA’s transit ridership continued to grow even after the World Cup left town. The D Line opens up possibilities that are genuinely quicker than driving without expensive parking

4 years ago today I finished my 8-nite stay at Courtyard Marriott + moved into a furnished rental, the next step towards finding a place to live. I’d worked my first few days at SDOT and initiated the Vision Zero “top to bottom review.” 🚌 I didn’t know at the time that the #SummerOf62 was ahead!

Excited to see Seattle considering a law requiring side guards on trucks NYC has similar laws: Local Laws 56 + 108 require that all trade waste vehicles with a GVWR over 10,000 pounds be equipped with side guards by no later than 2023 www.nyc.gov/site/bic/industries/sid…

⚽️ Metro/LAX station is ready for Match Day 🚆 Light rail passengers from the K-Line descend the escalator, walk past the giant futbol and enter a shaded walkway to the special game-day buses to the stadium 😀 There are lots of friendly Metro staff in pink soccer jerseys ready to help

The Waterfront was absolutely packed after the Belgium vs. Egypt match. ⚽️ A decade ago, this scene wouldn’t have been possible. The rebuilt waterfront has transformed the walk between the stadiums and Pike Place into one of Seattle’s great public spaces.
