This set of “policy animations”, from @justinoaksford.bsky.social and Francesca, are one of the best educational tools I’ve seen in housing advocacy.

do you know if the parcels going to Seattle are earmarked for SSHD? or if not what they may be for?

very frustrating since we literally fund red states. I vote we find money somewhere, at least for the next couple years

I was expecting $0 until 2028 at least. or maybe things will change with the midterms? sucks but isn't surprising. he's trying his hardest to make us need oil

that’s your cue to slow to a stop in front of their car and ask them what’s wrong

the market started in 1907. in 1907 there were about 1/1000 as many cars on the roads in the US. I propose we allow 1/1000 of the typical number of cars on a road into Pike Place

don't you see all of that happened because it was the 4th year after shops started opening up after covid

pretty tired of FotM's projection (they are a special interest group) and cultlike defense of cars. the only historical period FotM cares about is when THEY formed in 1964, during the height of car culture, before we were humbled by any oil crises

it's a piece of the old viaduct because we're so obsessed with cars that even our car light streets need to have monuments to the good ol' days

@seattledot.bsky.social knows the average speeds are way too high here. the data is damning. but will this project make this area safe or just make the road smoother for people breaking the law and endangering others?

thanks for the live coverage. I didn’t join because I’ve already been to like three engagement meetings about this project and I’m going to another one later today. but maybe I should have seeing as there’s always so much resistance to safety

one of the people I talked to about this very project was concerned about the environmental impact of adding bike lanes (specifically the carbon from all the concrete used)

downtown Seattle folks! (and Belltown and SLU and First Hill folks!) here's a great opportunity to get more involved with street safety

205 days after the grand opening of the new Seattle waterfront, its connection to the rest of the downtown network actually exists!

does the improved bus stop still have a bike rack? it's hard to tell in the photo

ugh this is why I never went to TJ's in Cap Hill. I never tried with a bike though; I think that would be the best option

how do I know? a couple days ago I blocked a car from making an illegal turn into Bell Street Park and the driver laid on the horn and called me retarded

if I blocked a car from having a clear path through an intersection the driver would lay on the horn and then scream that I was retarded

I have to know...why is pink the other option? not white? or brown or green or something?
