Playing with symbology and the SDOT crash data. Red translucent circles are pedestrian or cyclist serious injuries or fatalities, so circle looks darker when they stack. For the heatmap (blue fuzzy) I used all ped/cyc crashes with any injuries. This is just District 5, because I live here.

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that streets can’t be vibrant places to foster friendships and connect with neighbours. But as Donald Appleyard illustrated many decades ago, the volume & speed of traffic, and the overall design of the streets, are absolute social life dealbreakers. #StickyStreets

Famous Appleyard study that showed the amount of car traffic on a street powerfully affects the amount of social interaction on that street. Obviously, but before Appleyard, it hadn’t really been studied & proven.

Barcelona has metro, trams, buses, bike-lanes, and walkable (& sit-able) streets. They also have these electric “trackless trams,” which are smooth-riding long buses that look like trams (which are considered cooler so it might help with ridership). I admit, they ARE very cool. Thoughts? #Barcelona

Since it was Madison's lampoon newspaper, The Onion's headlines always helped me process terrible events. 'No Way To Prevent This' was a brilliant recurring headline. It's only a step but respect that they can partner with the excellent Everytown to take over a hateful site and put it to better use.

New to Seattle? November is historically the rainiest month, and with the time change, the sun sets before 5PM until Jan 25th. Here’s a few thoughts on how to make the most of it 🧵: 1) First off, ignore people who insist you have to innately love it or you don’t belong here.

Transit agencies are in dire need of $$, and the federal government will offer none over the next few years. It's all up to states and cities to avoid a downward spiral. This is exactly the right move, and not a moment too soon. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

Yesterday I left the office early to catch the sunset and process WTF just happened in America. Turns out I was in good company — the Elliott Bay Trail was busy! It was a reminder to me that our trails and public spaces are a critical refuge for our mental health.

NEW: “Do bike lanes really cause more traffic congestion? Here's what the research says. Studies from around the world show bike lanes ease congestion, reduce emissions & are a boon to businesses.” And removing them would cost a lot & make traffic worse. www.cbc.ca/news/science...

Great Adirondack chair building class at the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle. They helped load my cargo bike like no big deal, and the same for my classmate’s SUV. The bike turned out to be far easier to load.
