The Ave for All was so great. Watched many surprised to see the space for them to enjoy. Lots of fun activities and tables to sit down and eat. Overheard lots of conversations where interests were shared, along with other wonderful stories in people meeting. This is what cities are for.

Update on S Henderson St protected bike lanes in South Seattle: I checked them out this morning, & the Toronto style concrete mini jersey barriers & concrete curbs all appear to be complete. The bicycle signals are installed & operating but covered up. I think we’re close to them officially opening!
A concrete mini jersey barrier 2-way protected bike lane heads towards a floating bus stop as a bus stops to let out some passengers A rectangular rapid flashing beacon sits at a crosswalk next to a new 2-way concrete mini jersey barrier protected bike lane that has some of the barriers painted indigo blue2-way green crossbikes painted on the ground at the intersection of Henderson Street and Rainier Avenue South with stoplight signals for bicycles, right turns, straight, and left turns The 2-way bike lane is raised to sidewalk level at a bus stop with crosswalks to get to a bus boarding island

Halloween is coming. You don’t have to go to a “trunk-or-treat” event in Seattle! You can close your neighborhood street to through-traffic – for free! Trick-or-Streets permits are free and easy to get. Join here: seattle.gov/transportation/trick-or-streets

Who do you want to have the final say on street safety projects in historic districts: 1) The Seattle Department of Transportation’s Chief Transportation Safety Officer Or 2) Historic boards SDOT could consult historic boards to ensure a continuity of character without giving them a veto on safety

Tell the council@seattle.gov to support @councilmember-amr.seattle.gov & Foster's amendment that would allow SDOT to implement safety improvements in historic districts.

Just this year, the Pioneer Square Preservation Board blocked SDOT's proposal to prevent illegal car parking and improve safety and accessibility at 18 intersections in Pioneer Square. These intersections have a history of crashes, and SDOT knew how to make them safer, but were not allowed to.

Seattle Streets Alliance @streetsalliance.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
At intersections the ability for everyone, whether you are walking, biking, rolling, or driving to see each other clearly is critical! Which is why parking is not allowed within 20' of crosswalks, but too often cars are parked there illegally anyway, blocking visibility and leading to crashes.

🧵 Solutions to keep people safe while traveling on our streets are known. @transportation.seattle.gov has the expertise to fix dangerous streets, but they are often hobbled by red tape and "the Seattle Process." Example: unelected historic districts board can veto proposed safety projects.
