Barcelona has been removing cars from key locations in neighbourhoods and turning them into green spaces. People living nearby have reported better rest, increased socialization and less noise and air pollution. Any city can do this - make streets quieter, safer, more liveable.

SDOT showed 30% design; still early, looks promising:
-concrete 2-way PBL on Airport Way from Elysium to Alaska (slip lane removal!)
-pt of 6th Ave has off street tree-divided PBL (like Westlake Cycletrack)
-safe connection btwn S end SODO Trail & 6th Ave #SEAbikes @seabikeblog twitter.com/bobco85/status…

Looking good! This will better connect South Beacon Hill with Rainier Beach including the light rail station, cutting about half a mile off the previous walk/bike/roll route.

Great tour this morning of the nearly-completed Henderson Stairs that connects South Beacon with the Henderson Link Station

What if at the heart of every neighborhood there was a street that invited people to gather, celebrate art, shop, play, build community and relax? Join us on April 25th at 6 PM to build momentum for pedestrian streets in every Seattle neighborhood!

Nice work Raleigh. Let's do the same Seattle. Having a consistent no turn on red policy is best for safety and public understanding. Much easier to know what you're supposed to do when it's the same policy at every intersection.

PSA: "No Turn On Red" is now in full effect throughout downtown Raleigh. Thank us for saving you a ticket. #noturnonred

Justice for all means a world where everyone has the safety and resources they need to truly thrive. On this #TransDayOfVisibility, we acknowledge that many trans people cannot safely be themselves in our cities.

Time to phase out floppy plastic posts, and give people cycling real protection.

I talked to a city traffic engineer and it turns out one of the reasons we don’t have real protected bike lanes is because drivers don’t like it when they hit concrete barriers and damage their cars so cyclists are left with plastic sticks and paint for protection.

"Just this weekend, a 27-year-old driver was killed when he was involved in a crash with another driver at S Massachusetts Street and he became trapped in his vehicle. Just a week before that, on March 16, a 40-year-old woman was hit and killed while walking a few blocks south"

“They talk about how they want to do interim changes, it gets pushed back, and then it just halts” Erica Bush, co-lead
We must redesign our streets to safely move people and freight. Until then, people will keep getting hurt & killed. #DelaysAreDeadly #VisionZero
Quote Tweet
Proposed safety improvements framed as a "rapid response" to continued traffic deaths on 4th Ave S in SoDo have been delayed by pushback, highlighting the barriers to making any changes to streets in Seattle’s industrial areas.

SDOT says 15th Ave S (Beacon Hill) will be getting speed cushions this “spring” to help with the chronic speeding issue — can’t come soon enough. The rest of the safety project must also be built quickly, to keep everyone safe! #VisionZero seattle.gov/transportation

Just another day on 15th Ave S. A car plowing into a house.
Hope everyone is ok 
but I think we really need to speed up the safety and bike improvements here @Spottnik @seattledot @BHSafeStreets

Please take a moment TODAY to support the #WALeg #MissingMiddle bill #HB1110, using this handy form from our friends at : futurewise.salsalabs.org/hb1110emailtos
This bill would allow more types of homes in more neighborhoods. Increasing affordability and walkability.
