My favorite complaint we’ve received about the #stayhealthystreets so far:
“The noise level has greatly gone up from children playing in the street right in front of my house... I may be forced to move”

Or just stop trying to permit fee companies out of business. We should've instead subsidized them like we do private car storage.
No permit fees, get payments from city for meeting specific service measurements, minimum required # of bikes &
commitment to service time period.

“We are very pleased with the level of safety & convenience this new intersection has brought to our motorists,” stated Falmouth District Supervisor .
You can have a high level of motorist convenience or safety Meg. Not both. You chose motorist convenience @ $50M/mile.

There've been lots of other crashes. But let's not forget the truck driving into the bank lobby.
Luckily nobody was waiting at the bus stop when it happened.

Farmers insurance on #safe35th just got a makeover, thanks to out of control driver. Driver must have been going pretty fast headed east on 75th, through the light and left on 35th. Completely destroyed corner wall. Not even a lick of snow settled here yet. Slow down, people!

Your periodic reminder ~8 wks into this lockdown, #safe35th still doesn't have protected bike lanes, despite a decade of community outreach/input, the PBLs being fully designed & days from being striped back in March 2018 before personally cut them completely.

We can't get enough of this! 
Every morning the city of Tirana wakes up to new pop-up bike lanes! It's only a matter of hours before they become full of life from bikers, children and the elderly 
Sidewalks become mainwalks, and idle parking becomes an artery of life

I'm sure #MoscowMitch and his wife, Secretary of Transportation , are hard at work right now for a similar visionary plan for these United States of America.

Great work ! While cities across the country are opening up their streets to people, you’re concerned about unused cars. Well done!!!

We've seen how parking needs have changed during the #COVID19 pandemic. The @CityofSeattle and @SeattlePD will temporarily ease some parking regulations to better support residents’ and businesses’ needs during this time. Learn more

Pretty sure they're talking about ATU. If we're paying someone it's news to us... But yeah, give that lobbyist a raise! We support the nefarious plan to "divert ever more tax dollars from roads" and towards a sustainable transportation system.

Does Salmon Bay Sand & Gravel sells cinder blocks?
That'd be epic-level poetic justice: cargo bike flotilla shows up, buys cinder blocks, turns every Seattle not-really-protected bike lane into protected bike lanes while SBSG continues obstruction of completing BGT #MissingLink.
Quote Tweet
Anyone have a truck and know where the best local prices on cinderblocks is?
I'll contribute $$ and time to install them along every Seattle "protected" bikeway. #VisionZero twitter.com/DCDOTRA/status…

“it seeks to tilt the playing field, remove objective criteria”
You are so right. We need to get rid of this legacy funding model where vast majority of funding goes to hwy/road construction which all data, for decades, has shown is a waste and will just create more #traffic.

We are sooo grateful that the old white wealthy suburbanites on Ed Bd have finally decided to join the rest of the city their masthead suggests they represent.

“Puget Sound rgn, transit‘s forecast to get lion’s share of transpo dollars”
Yep. Still w you. The economic engine of WA State gets funding for #transit which allows it to subsidize all your exurban, E WA readers.
Keep going. We are 100% on board this train.

Totally right! Poor/working class least likely to own cars. Awesome to see Ed Bd taking up this #transit torch.

“ & paid former legislative staffers >> $20,000 to lobby legislators ”
That’s unacceptable! $20K?! To multiple people? Thank you for highlighting this may not be a living wage.
But aren’t you the old white people who constantly back biz lobby?

To be extra clear about how property tax works: This means you pay more property tax so that the Broadmoor Country Club can get a break.
Quote Tweet
This is what inequitable access to power buys you. Here is Seattle’s Broadmoor Country Club, surrounded with concertina wire. The club pays just $34,000 in property tax on 120 acres of pesticide soaked grass. That’s just 0.5% of the property tax paid by the surrounding houses.

Brilliant ! Ea street parking space in city should be paid #parking & charged by the foot.
We suggest demand-based pricing, charged per hour, but never goes to $0/hr. Min $0.50/hr seems reasonable for storing your personal earth-destrying property in public ROW. twitter.com/transitrunner/
