Wahots , to Seattle in Levy Proposal Would Add Only 10 Miles of New Protected Bike Lanes

As the article mentions, I applud efforts to up-armor existing bike lanes to make them safer against car and truck intrusions.

But we should be pushing a lot harder for more bike lanes that are protected by concrete barriers AND more connections to things like south Seattle, west seattle, and greenlake.

It's really frustrating to watch massive roads go into places like the waterfront that are just going to ferry cars between North and South seattle. That money could have been spent better elsewhere, building out a staggering number of bike lanes at a much lower cost.

Oh, look, another industry forcing instant roll-backs of new laws by hurting the consumers to "prove" the law is "harmful".

Can't do an initiative to ease height limits for affordable housing. Best we can do is make climate policy worse than it already is.

The faster you get it done and pedestrianize pioneer square the less you’ll have to deal with it and rising costs. Get it done. Finish the fight. And then keep focusing on light rail.

Just fucking finish it already.

'Efficiency' is phrasing it very generously.

Just one more lane! This time it'll work! Come on man, just two more lanes!

I didn’t know about the challenges with the Eastside extension, but I’m glad they’re partially opening. I can’t believe they still don’t have NFC tapping with phones. I know bureaucracy is tough, but they misjudged the demand and their priorities.

Jared Axelrod, a public policy manager for Amazon, worried such a move would jeopardize economic recovery and return-to-office plans

Maybe they could stop those plans

Wild controversial take from a born and bred Seattleite: Fuck Amazon.

Love the airshows. Yeah, it’s sometime inconvenient but I can deal with it.

Mostly the latter. Also, dog-terrifying. My poor pups are already struggling as they practice right over our neighborhood and house.
