Not sure I understand the backlash. He is asking about topics that SDOT doesn’t know about. About roundabouts and traffic calming that they can’t answer to. I for one would like more traffic calming in residential areas. And I’m pretty happy he is bringing it up and not letting it get swept under.

Having grown up on Bainbridge in the early 00's, it *already* is incredibly unrecognizable. Doesn't stop the fact that they should (and are required to) build more housing, fast.

That's a comically empty calendar for our Chief of Police. My calendar is more full than that and I'm a middle manager.

Finally after 3 routes, 2 phone trees and what seemed like an interrogation, the report is submitted. Probably nothing will happen. Probably will get a call from a cop at 11pm tonight saying “the car isn’t here!!!1!1” Probably a total waste of time. Happy disability awareness month i guess.

Make and model? Oh! Orange Lamborghini Aventador. “A what?” Lamborghini. “Langro chini” Lam-bor-gini (How are you a cop and you don’t know what a lambo is?)

License plate? Well, it looks like a temporary plate. Doesn’t even look WA. ADOT—Arizona? Hopefully that doesn’t invalidate the report right there.

Finally, through to the actual dispatch. That genuinely took me 5-7 minutes. Alright, cross street not enough, had to find an address. Done.

Okay we’re in. Option 1- ask the city where your towed car is Option 2- report your stolen car Option 3- ask the city where your stolen car is Option 4- report potholes …you get my drift? More attention to getting violators their cars back than handicap persons trying to exist!

Walrus 🚲 @tbw875.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
Okay, call the second number (it’s the non-emergency line). Can’t skip forward to option 8, you *have* to listen to allllllll of the options and disclaimers and finally, option 8 at the end.

Try Find It Fix It instead? Took a picture and everything! Nope. Have to go through the phone tree. Why?

Walrus 🚲 @tbw875.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
First, call the number on the sign! Easy right? Nope. For some reason it says to call a different number, option 8. Hope you caught the number cuz they don’t repeat it. Hung up.

5:15pm today on Ballard Ave and NW Vernon Place, a bright orange Lamborghini pulled up and parked in an open spot, except yep, it was a handicap spot ♿️

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. 🤮

(1) Automated traffic enforcement can exist without providing that data to government agencies looking for more surveillance and deportations (2) Automated traffic enforcement starts at road design, making it *impossible* to break the law, not just illegal. Both can be true simultaneously.

I’m sick of him invading a country unprovoked and unseating the head of government TWICE in one year… …and they complain about a tan suit.

Did we just totally forget that he invaded a foreign country unprovoked and severed the sitting head of government this year? Twice?

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 know this isn’t Paris, but a coworker who lives in Paris said most parisians “hated” Hidalgo. I’m wondering if he was just a car brain. Are we in a Bluesky bubble or is there another side to the story?

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?

Walrus 🚲 @tbw875.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
No. We need stricter driver tests. And the political will to take people’s keys away

And yet Reddit is angry about bikes using an Idaho stop at an empty intersection along the Burke. Make it make sense…

Ya LOVE to see the central bollard and the leading zig-zag stripes at the crosswalk. Small things like these add up! Glad KW is doing this.

general perception from reddit keyboard warriors / car brains is that it is only used by rich white MAMILs, instead of children learning how to bike and families spending time in a quite park together.

I had a very similar incident happen to me in Seattle a few weeks ago, by a driver actively working for a local company, Applied Professional Services. Despite video evidence to SPD and to the company, nothing came of it. It seems drivers enjoy a much higher burden of proof than the rest of us.

This exact problem leads to road rage and assault on people using neighborhood Safe Streets for rolling or walking. Literally one modal filter to make any of these streets a dead end will fix this overnight.

Walrus 🚲 @tbw875.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
I see a demand for modal filters. Northlake way shouldn't be a through street. Cars should use Pacific St, the arterial. Modal filters solves this problem.
070
Walrus 🚲 @tbw875.bsky.social · 10/05/2026
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.

To their point, there is nothing wrong with this. And a few reasons why its better! Let's get smaller fire trucks.
A small, urban-oriented European fire truck with tighter turning radius and smaller width as compared to oversized American style fire trucks.

Nobody uses the car lanes obviously they should be turned back into pedestrian lanes!! (Finally the anti-bike lane argument makes sense when applied to cars)

Reminds me of the time when I went to a comedy show, and the comic asked “what’s something that really sucks about Seattle?” Someone said “too much graffiti” and the entire audience simultaneously laughed at the guy, almost kicking him out

This last summer, they just added some new ones at 2nd and Mercer (North entrance to Seattle Center).
