THANK YOU ALL for coming out and supporting the 8!!! It’s honestly so surreal how much fun we had today and how amazing it is to know how many people care about this bus as much as I do!

Pedestrian islands and multistage crossings are critical for more dynamic traffic light timings. Eliminating left turns - even just selectively - would boost transit with a small cost to drivers, who themselves would benefit from less congestion!

I was looking up a route to an appointment today when I noticed that Google maps now provides info about the kinds of bike lanes on your route. Not sure what their criteria is, but it’s an interesting way to note the failures of Chicago’s “bike grid”.

I guess this is how we're all learning that the 2026 levy delivery plan is out.
SDOT gave me the news last week but I was hesitant to announce it until it appeared in the 2026 Seattle Transportation Levy Delivery Plan. It is mentioned on page 32.

DSTT goes hard
At the heart of every well used US transit system is a piece of infrastructure that was built over 100 years ago that you simply could not build today under any circumstances.

If our "environmental protection" frameworks can stop an affordable housing project but can't stop a detention center or a highway expansion we really need to start talk about ripping things up root and branch.

Since Seattle OPCD didn't dare releasing the difference map of their downzones in the 2026 update, here are all the areas overlaid on Displacement Risk Index.
Blue = wealthy, exclusive, white neighborhoods
Red = neighborhoods @ high risk of being priced-out
Guess where all the new downzones are?

We had a great time tonight talking to @seattledot.bsky.social about Bus Lanes on Denny Way!
The Mayor’s order mandates a plan by April 17. We’re excited that SDOT is thinking about more than Denny and will keep iterating on solutions in the coming years

Listening to a day-long hearing on whether building affordable housing in a small section of Bainbridge Island will have a negative impact on the environment and I have to tell you, I don't think this is a good use of anyone's time.
