What I do know is that the state moved much more quickly to implement an emergency repair here than they did to make changes after multiple people were killed while walking on State Route 7 in Pierce County.

Hot take: Fremont Bridge should be closed to cars and open only for bikes and pedestrians. For cars it's mostly redundant with Aurora Bridge and we're never going to build a new bridge (with the required ability to open, especially) for non-cars. As a historic bridge it'll last a lot longer, too.

Further Seattle commentary: the only way to end car dependency is to make driving so miserable that walking/biking/PT are more pleasant options regardless of weather and distance. Seattle rivals only SF and NYC on this metric.

this is about as useful as those signs that read 'please don't drink and drive' - as if politely asking drivers ever accomplished anything, safety-wise
In today’s least surprising local news, speed display signs aren’t enough to make our roads safer.
Speed display signs only slow drivers down by 1km/h: Halifax report
Halifax has installed nearly 50 speed display signs around the municipality, but on average they only slow down drivers by less than one km/h, according to a new staff report.

but that last part did happen. imo it is particularly important to emphasize that the oil majors + big three did, in fact, directly reshape much of public transit in major cities and this included the literal dismemberment of public transit systems.
was it the only thing? no
did it happen? yes

Because a lot of leftists/progressives have pseudo conspiratorial models of reality where they think the only reason Americans live in suburbs is bc GM tore up the streetcar lines in LA etc.

i forgot to mention that last bit of the ride after the train where it was black as pitch out where the rain really picked up. it was SO SCARY because cars are EVIL but it was otherwise really fun because i got so fucking soaked. the rain was heavy and mean and windy but it was fun i loved it.
having not biked in the rain in ages my entire ride home was giggling with glee as my legs and socks got soaked because i neglected to bring rain pants. my hands are drenched too because i didn't seal them properly. couldn't be happier! car commuters could never.
