In obscure news, the critical in-line station at Tukwila Int Blvd Station for the Stride BRT is now moving forward.
Initially put on hold due to a failing fish culvert, the culvert has been repaired and the project is moving forward

Those who think the Reagan ads were a bad idea for having irrationally annoyed the president for reasons having nothing to do with their merits are, I assume, writing urgent letters to the Toronto Blue Jays organization urging them to lose the World Series for the same reason

I’m at a parking conference in the PNW and spent 30 minutes talking with parking professionals about…
Trains.
Even the most car-brained people in the country recognize the value and need for train travel. They even specifically mentioned China’s superiority in this field

This is such a bad faith argument that permeates a lot of urbanism content right now. “Let’s continue to charge folks because businesses might benefit!!!” *proceeds to not advocate for a systemic change where business contribute to transit funding via taxes instead of consumer fares* 🧵
“If Metro were to remove fare revenue from its balance sheet, that move would actually represent a disproportionate benefit to businesses who pay for monthly passes used by their employees.”
The idea of a fare-free pilot on several Metro routes came about as fares have shrunk as a percentage of Metro's overall sources of revenue. But data suggests dropping fares wouldn't be as big of a boon as continuing to focus on expanding transit service.

Dear Toronto: We will stop scoring runs this game if Doug Ford agrees to stop tearing out bike lanes. Until then, the runs will continue.
