Do you realize how difficult it is to get a car illegally parked in a handicap towed in Seattle?? Let’s see! A case study. Involving an orange lambo. 🤮

In Seattle, the goal of pain and displeasure for those misfortune enough to not have some place to stay is more important than the goal of quality infrastructure for all people. I just want somewhere to sit and read a book.

I am all for (and actively participate in) street festivals like Solstice, SLU market, and Belltown festival… But why is the default to close bike/pedestrian streets instead of car streets?

It’s time for @seattledot.bsky.social to actually make safe streets impenetrable from cars. Too many literal death threats from car brains. We need modal filters. On 17th Ave. it’s not a through street and should be impossible for someone to use it as such.

Painted bike lanes don’t stop people that don’t care. THAT is the failure of SDOT.

I all but guarantee that vehicle speeds will increase along this corridor when this project is fully complete. I hope I am wrong.

Never underestimate when alternative mobility people say "Drivers want to kill us." I had a gun pulled on me last year for the same reason, right next to 2 elementary schools. This is sickening.

The crowd is getting restless. "The critical question: how many people have been killed on Lake Washington Boulevard?," someone yells out. "How many are necessary?," someone shoots back.

The number of cars parked in the not-yet-finished-but-basically-finished 15th Ave bike lane is fucking hilarious (And nothing will change when it “opens”)

An Edmonton (Canada) suburb installed a "bike lane" that has stop and "cyclists dismount" signs for cyclists at EVERY SINGLE CAR CROSSING - at EVERY exit from every parking lot, etc. There are dozens of them in a 2km stretch. Stop. Dismount. Stop. Dismount. Stop. Dismount. Over, and over, and over.

A bike lane with a red stop sign with a brown sign under it saying "cyclists dismount" showing a walking cyclist. Another similar sign can be seen a short distance away in the background.

Does SDOT have a spine anymore? These are literally safety improvements. They should not need public input (let alone public defense!). As a wise one once said: Make It So.

This is what happens when SDOT fails to repaint existing bike lanes. It’s been 6 months since this intersection was paved. Never painted. Bikes are not taking space from cars. Cars are stealing from people. @spottnik.bsky.social anything you can do? 15th & Beacon

We’re entering flu season with bird flu raging among US dairy cattle: ~third of CA herds infected. The danger is flu viruses have a trick: they can swap segments —one farmworker co-infected by human and avian flu— to cause pandemics. We may get lucky. I hope so. 🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/o...

If you were driving a car, why would you even want to drive down this street? Seems stressful. Seattle could learn.

The priorities of Amsterdam versus Seattle are clear. One is a city for people. The other is a city for 2-ton non-humans with internal combustion engines.
