People keep moving the “street closed” Stay Healthy Streets signs in my neighborhood onto the sidewalk or the curb so they can zoom through back streets, and I keep moving them back. , , we need more permanent/secure barriers to keep people safe!

More 'permanent' barriers would straight up stop the police, the fire department, and delivery trucks.

These streets aren't "closed"; they are slowed. The barriers don't stop anyone from entering.

We're upgrading the signs! Tweet here: twitter.com/seattledot/sta. More info here: seattle.gov/transportation

We're replacing A-frame signs on #StayHealthyStreets w/ sturdier ones less susceptible to winter weather & movement. Larger barricades near busy intersections, smaller barrel w/ a sign at all other locations. 85 locations w/ larger barriers are planned throughout city.

A friend and I saw that some blocks at the top of Capitol Hill were cordoned off this way, and we wondered what was being blocked. We are both carless, so obviously the sign would not keep us from walking down the block.

They're working on the design right now for more permanent barriers from what I gather

Yup! I fixed one yesterday evening and had to fix it again around lunch time today. Someone had clearly tossed it onto the grass.
