Why not eliminate parking on 1st Avenue in Pioneer Square and paint bus lanes as an emergency measure? It’s like this every afternoon. Today was the worst I’ve seen.

Yep, this is what happens when you couple moving busses out of the tunnel WAY AHEAD of light rail corridors not done yet AND the detours related to removal of viaduct, its a total clusterF from hell! Oh then add an accident or an event at any number of venues, & it’s gridlock 🤬

Congestion pricing. Let’s get the cars out of downtown, and use the money to pay for more busses and park and rides.

Here’s another: the I-5 SB carpool lane at 45 th NE has been changed to a metered lane, backing everything up. WTF?
