Love the intentionality here! 🚲

Perhaps it’s my Seattle perspective, but I worry about bike theft with shared storage. This seems better than other designs given the storage is by an entrance (not a basement room w/no eyes on it)

I wonder if lockers would work? Or since there’s an elevator in-unit storage?

Thx for sharing these!

You wouldn’t think it would be this hard to convince folks of reasonable changes to ensure no more kids die in a public park, yet here we are.

Glad SDCI did this, and clearly preservation boards need reform.

There’s something so pleasant about bay windows and balconies that plain-old articulation or differing paint colors can’t achieve. It feels honest, not lying about its purpose.

Anyway, I love these!

Wait you’re telling me Sal isn’t a real salmon?!

Can’t wait to ride! I do wish the trains went faster, but hey a guaranteed 20 min ride from Seattle to Bellevue is still pretty great.

None of this would be happening right now if Trump had gone to prison for January 6th like he should have

The NCAR is in Boulder, not Nederland. They’re pretty close, though!

A friend of mine had this in their place. Space saving but also difficult or impossible for dogs, children or the elderly to use the stairs.

As a public service, I thought I'd offer a little constructive criticism of the most popular styles of bike racks, since it appears that the entities that manufacture and install these racks are clueless about the needs of actual bike riders.

Increase frequencies on route 8 would be a nice start!

These kinds of human scale, mixed-use Midwest dive bars are illegal to open and operate in most American neighborhoods.

Just imagine saying this about another country. Would you visit? Do business with? Sign a treaty with?

It’s gonna take a lot to heal from this.

@wsdot.wa.gov any updates on this?

Has anyone reported it via Find it Fix it? I’ve been pleasantly surprised (for the most part) by the city’s response via the app.

Let’s do it! I’m guessing this will require more funding too. Curious what the plan is to obtain it.

Really excited about this project! I do worry a little about right-hook crashes as vehicles turn onto 10th Ave NE. I wonder if SDOT could ban right turns for vehicles here?

Staying current with US news is just exhausting. But then I keep thinking, well, the horrors persist but so do I.

To repair we need folks who care about making this a better country. I like to think we can all play a part in that.

It’s happening!!!!

I think it's funny how much time and effort we spend trying to create warnings for future civilizations about radioactive waste dumps, as if any of us actually heeded the warnings on ancient tombs. Humans do not heed warnings unless deeply tied to religious dogma. And even then!

"How can men help women feel safer cycling at night?"

Social designers Lisa Strijbosch and Maartje de Goede in partnership with the @Fietsersbond.nl created the 'Mannenstoplicht' to encourage men to voluntarily stop and reflect on their role in nightlife."

These renderings are super cool 😊. With the limited sunlight between the buildings, does it make more sense to just do away with the side yards?

Map showing the 1 hour and 22min walk between the Kent Des Moines Link station and the Kent Station for the Sounder.

Another naming issue I see: the Kent/Des Moines Station (Link) is rather far from Kent Station (Sounder). Seems easy to mix up.

I propose Kent/Des Moines renamed as Highline College.

It’s nice when station names help show actual destinations.

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I feel like the DT Seattle stations would be the easiest to implement given the generous mezzanines. Wish we would also allow a cafe or something there too

Riding my e-bike (with a Link connection) to a Friendsgiving. Yup I’m home.

Btw love seeing these new system maps up. The 2 Line connection across the Lake cannot come soon enough. I’m ready for double the frequency headed north!

It ain't much, but it's honest work meme: Pictured farmer standing in farm field

Me when I give a low ridership bus an extra rider:

Trump admin Is attempting to massive cut federal transit funds, seeking to:
1–Eliminate transit account, which funds billions of $ in capital expenses for transit agencies
2–Prevent state DOTs from “flexing” funds for transit

These changes, if they occurred, would be devastating for US transit.
