Walking or biking somewhere like this makes me furious. The lack of dignity and respect baked into our infrastructure and driver behavior is fucked up.

Angry neighbors may have accomplished something that years of advocacy could not: Reducing the minimum fire lane from 20 feet to 12 feet. This has been approved by the fire department and SDOT's Transportation Operations Division. My source at SDOT says this is a precedent.

It's a perfect day to tell SDOT to pedestrianize Barbara Bailey Way (were the Sunday farmers market sets up in Capitol Hill). Come get your market goods and then pop into the open house just around the corner.

Seattle bike ridership had a record-breaking summer. 🚲 That is why ungapping the map matters: every new connection makes the entire bike network more useful, comfortable, & accessible. The numbers show people want to bike. Let’s keep removing the gaps in our network & make it possible citywide.

Seattle had record-breaking bike traffic over the summer. What’s behind the numbers?

More people than ever biked around Seattle this summer — and one cycling advocate says this could be just the beginning of a new normal in the city.

People can be made so completely dependent on drugs, that they perceive those drugs to represent “freedom” for them. But can anything you’re that dependent on really make you “free?” That seems like a really warped defination of freedom. Now replace “drugs” with “cars.” Discuss. #CarDependency

Ways to prevent dangerous street takeovers or "sideshows" include reducing lanes, building protected intersections, and adding modal filters.

Good urban design removes conflict points between modes for the safety and efficiency of everyone. People walking and cycling don't want their lives threatened by motorists. Motorists don't want their commute to be slowed down. The compromise is equitable infrastructure.

Pike Place gets all the attention, but we should also be pedestrianizing streets in every neighborhood. Imagine how great Ballard Ave could be if we closed it to cars permanently.

1. Wait for break in traffic before pushing the button
2. Push button to alert motorist
3. Wait for vehicle to stop
4. Cross carefully
