8 hours later and the best SDOT could do was add a few cones. If these were in the car lanes do you think they'd still be there?

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

Route 8’s eastbound on-time performance is on track to exceed 80% in September 2026. This will be the first time eastbound Route 8 trips meet Metro’s 80% on-time goal in at least 7 years.

I collected metrics this week on my commute home from Westlake on the new @fixthel8.bsky.social bus lane. Going from Westlake to Capitol Hill Station reliably takes less than 10 minutes now! One trip to CHS took less than 7. It's a game-changer.

A cool thing I spotted today: an electric cargo bike available for rental as part of the Montreal public transport system. A mid-drive motor and only $35 for a full day rental or $95 for an annual membership!

The principles underlying Vision Zero in Seattle are excellent but the culture change hasn't happened and so SDOT is continuing to build and rebuild deadly streets. Here is my 🧵thread of actions that can help Vision Zero back on track.

Some things I've learned about legislative advocacy, and I think my record speaks for itself. 1. Start by asking for everything you want. Stop preemptively negotiating against yourself. The process of passing the bill will whittle it down. Why started with a whittled down product?

Too many people have been killed on Seattle’s streets in recent weeks. These tragedies are preventable. Tell Seattle leaders to improve intersection safety, require side guards on large trucks, and prioritize Vision Zero. Take Action: actionnetwork.org/letters/plea...

Side-by-side diagram comparing an intersection before and after daylighting. The “Before Daylighting” illustration shows cars parked close to a crosswalk, blocking a driver’s view of people crossing and reducing visibility. The “After Daylighting” illustration removes parking spaces near the corner and replaces them with a striped no-parking zone, creating a clear line of sight between drivers, pedestrians, and people biking. The diagrams highlight how daylighting improves visibility and safety at intersections

illustrating a bicycle safety side guard. A person riding a bicycle is shown alongside the truck, with a red panel labeled “Side Guard” covering the space between the front and rear wheels to help prevent cyclists from being pulled underneath the vehicle. The diagram notes a maximum 13.8-inch ground clearance beneath the side guard and indicates the truck bed height is typically 50 inches.

I don't understand why parking enforcement everywhere tries to treat their job as some sort of friendly negotiation to do whatever they can to avoid giving the car driver a ticket. Just literally write the ticket. No questions, no negotiation, no extralegal grace period... just write the ticket. 🫠

This is the space between parked cars and same direction traffic with a small car hugging the centerline. Imagine it’s a box truck and there is traffic in the other lane. And they decided to pass you, on a bike. Tell me they”gave space” and it was a “freak accident”. Fuck all the way off.

A reminder that Molly Moon Neitzel signed a petition and gave a statement to stop bike lanes from going in near her shop in Bellevue. Salt & Straw, on the other hand, works with a charity to make sure kids in Portland have bikes. Vote with your dollars!

Petition to City of Bellevue to not put bike lanes near a Molly Moon's ice cream store.

Please do not hurt the independently owned businesses in old downtown Bellevue by removing all of this parking! No one bikes to these businesses to shop or eat in our establishments. Bellevue is welcoming so many huge, multinational corporations to the city. This needs to be balanced with helping smaller businesses thrive. Thank you very much! – molly moon

Letting business/property owners override the Vision Zero safety team based on vibes is par for the course at SDOT and needs to change. Making intersections safer by improving visibility is a proven strategy. Of the proposed locations with pedestrian collisions, 0 remain in the plan.

Parking in this city is a joke!!
I went to the Ballard Farmers market today and had to circle the blocks to find a spot. Ended up having to park my bike a block away and walk to the market instead of usually being able to park right at the entrance. This city needs to add more bike racks! No new apartment buildings if it doesn't include bike parking!
