Do you know why this only covers Portland MSA and not the entire state?

Incredible that we're still doing DRB for a 6-unit TH project. Easy win for @mayorofseattle.bsky.social to delete this program

I was really hoping with our new Mayor we'd do away with these types of community meetings in favor of just doing the right thing.

Chevy Equinox (??) rear ends a Ford F-150. How fast do you have to be going for the Equinox to end up like that? Speed limit here is 25 mph.

More proof that the state needs to take over planning.

Those numbers are totally wild. 60 deaths in 1940 when the population was 368k. In 2024 we had 38 at nearly 800k residents, and 2024 was a bad year (only 27 in 2019)!

Because parking is incredibly profitable and Diamond (+others) have no reason to sell.

1st and Jackson would deeply benefit from daylighting.

Brett sounds like a sourpuss. There are likes on it and it’s easy to see

Democrats often speak about β€œstakeholder engagement” and I think they really expect everyone to be on board with something before doing it. Cue 25 community meetings about adding safety features to Lake Washington Blvd.

I took the 7 once and it was the only time I’ve seen someone undress on transit. Can’t imagine how awful this line must be for people who take it regularly.

This would be such an easy win for Wilson

One of the coolest streets in Manhattan is Stone St. A former road that's been converted into outdoor dining. Pike Place could go this route and provide so much more revenue opportunities for restaurants, and better dining options for patrons.

One of the remaining progressive voices on Twitter referred to her as "Killer Wilson" because of the sweep. LOL!

Capital markets may take issue with that timeline lol

I’d love to know how we can land bank sites around future light rail stops even though we don’t know where future light rail stops are…

To get North, the trick is to go South first and get on a northbound train around Columbia City

Two trains went by in Cap Hill completely full (even at 4 min headways!). I took a scooter downtown.

Congestion Pricing in NYC seems to be the best example. It's a direct tax on driving.

Super fair remedy πŸ˜‚

My thought would be full encapsulation via London-tube like doors (I forget what they’re called…) and turnstiles to get in. There’s just no way we can’t accomplish turnstiles throughout the system.

Bill Pulte trying to figure out if this includes him

Why don’t we just install fare gates?

I realized after I posted this that the garage there would be problematic for bus only lanes. But one-way southbound is still very feasible.
