The man, 68, is accused of "weaponizing" his car and intentionally running down the woman in the parking lot of a Bellevue YMCA.
Central Seattle Greenways is excited to announce our new name:
🎉 Central Seattle Streets for All
What's not changing:
❤️ Our belief that all people should be able to get around safely without a car. Our passion for making Seattle a better place. Our partnership with @streetsalliance.bsky.social.
"This is what the jackboots actually look like, people. We have seen the enemy, and it's right here at home."
This was a meeting about a mild transportation project to decrease speeding, improve lighting, and make an accessible barrier protected trail.
Or a totalitarian invasion? Hard to know.
I realize there are more pressing issues than City transparency, but it is wild to me that the city of Seattle, unlike the state and county, continues to keep this public information secret after promising to bring it back "soon" in 2021.
Now someone is saying that residents' mental health, enabled by easy vehicle access to their homes, is more important than safety.
"You have to consider the misery you'll be imposing on a whole bunch of people, most of whom have never hit a pedestrian," she says.
One of these options is safer than the other. JUST ADVANCE THAT ONE
Kenmore has a great approach that uses the revenue from the cameras to directly improve the streets where they're installed, then move the cameras to the next problem spot. Would love to see Mayor Wilson and @seattledot.bsky.social do something like this.

I often think about how Seattle could solve either its budget problems or street safety problems (why not both?) by deploying a lot of speed limit enforcement cameras.
Seattle Neighborhood Greenways is now Seattle Streets Alliance!
After 15 years of organizing for safer streets, our work has grown far beyond neighborhood greenways.
Our new name reflects a broader mission: making every Seattle street safer and more welcoming for people who walk, bike, and roll.
The Seattle Social Housing Public Development Authority was established three years ago. In that time, it has created zero homes. It has created no development pipeline. It has, however, spent and obligated millions of dollars to hire and fire a CEO who never lived in Washington state, pay questionable consultants and embark on a hiring spree.
braindead argument. The social housing developer JUST got approval to receive its very first tranche of tax dollars LAST MONTH! The Seattle Times has no shame and will publish false information as long as it's under the banner of "opinion."

NEW! Seattle Neighborhood Greenways is now Seattle Streets Alliance. streetsalliance.org
I think about this a lot re: Southend streets like MLK, Lake Wa Blvd, and Rainier. Even if somehow these streets were *only* drivers, nobody walking, nobody on a bike, no buses. They would still be really dangerous!
After 13 years of working for @sngreenways.bsky.social, I'm now working for @streetsalliance.bsky.social! Wait, what? Read more on @theurbanist.org
It was a very bad look at a press conference related to what is, arguably, the primary goal of her tenure as mayor
For most of the history of cars, turning right on red was illegal due to its obvious danger, since drivers looking to their left for oncoming vehicles can't see pedestrians in the crosswalk on their right. It should be again.
WSDOT finally has a plan to tackle the highway ramps that swirl around Seattle's next light rail station, a concept that includes the demolition of an off-ramp that mars a Seattle city park.
But transportation advocates are pushing the state to think bolder.

Aurora without sidewalks
“Early wins…
Install protected walkways on Aurora Ave N”
Let’s do it. Plonk down some concrete barriers and put an end to this civic shame
Oohh happy hump day indeed! Looking hot! 🥵
Democrats in #waleg would have a much easier time moving this bill and rallying strong public support for it if they tied much of its revenue to K-12 public education, as similar taxes on the rich did in CA, MA, and AZ. But they bizarrely refuse to.
My local Safeway had these a few weeks ago.
parks also needs to expand hours at pools that remain open. Rainier Beach gets hopelessly crowded (6+adults sharing a lane) because the lap times are so few. One hour on Saturday and Sunday is not enough. There are lots of hours the pools remain closed and unoccupied, it's a matter of staffing.
it's a 4 lane road designed for 50 mph speeds. this sucks.
Gazelle's are awesome! I've had mine now for 4 years and every word of this ad is true.
Work underway to build missing Yesler Way bike lane

I simply do not trust SDOT to respond honestly to community requests for safer crossings. Look at the brushoff they gave me when I asked them to paint a crosswalk as part of a larger project -- a year ago it was "we'll consider it when work is done," today it's "actually we won't consider it at all"
No one seems to remember that the WA legislature voted to make DST permanent here too in 2019. The holdup is that it's illegal under federal law unless Congress authorizes it.

"As someone who philosophically believes there should be fewer cars on the road...," is how Rep. Reed started out her question to the AV companies this afternoon.
So there will be a time change going from Seattle to Vancouver in the winter?
