Transportation costs are the second largest burden on American family budgets (17%), after housing (33%)!
To address the affordability crisis, we must create cities with abundant housing of all types (subsidized, social, coop, market rate) and make walking, biking, and taking transit convenient.

🎉A game changer for Beacon Hill!

Thank you to all the neighbors with Beacon Hill Safe Streets who did the organizing and advocacy to make it happen (there was a period where it was on the edge!). Get involved to extend this south through all of Beacon Hill. seattlegreenways.org/volunteer
Check out the recently completed Beacon Ave S & 15th Ave S Safety Project in my newest video. I covered how it improves safety for cyclists, pedestrians, transit users, and drivers, basically a win for the Beacon Hill neighborhood in Seattle

SDOT just announced they'll be completing the final block of the Beach Drive SW Healthy Street on Alki Point, finally connecting the multiuse path to 63rd Ave SW. This block was not included in the original project, installed in 2024.

Work will start before the end of the year.

Full disclosure: I hosted the recent collab with Kenji López-Alt on my channel, but @sngreenways.bsky.social really did all the work. We agreed to donate the first-month YouTube ad revenue (which is usually most if it) to the Pike Place Market Foundation. So today I donated $535.16.

After more than a decade of advocacy, East Marginal Way has been transformed from one of Seattle’s most intimidating streets into a safe, connected corridor between West Seattle and Downtown. 🚲✨

Good news: Sales at Pike Place Market were up 9.7% in September! That's four months of solid data showing the pedestrianization pilot is good for business.

Add your ideas for how to keep the momentum going this fall and winter: actionnetwork.org/letters/pike...

I spent the summer visiting school streets in Europe and recently SDOT built a sad (but welcome) one at McClure on Queen Anne where my kid attended school for a year. Now that I have nexus with the program, I plan to focus on improving it.

Many parents are now are forgoing minivans for greener alternatives: cargo bikes. They have been around for decades, but the advent of the electric bike motor has made them much more popular. n.pr/3WJyZn9

Change is possible. E Marginal Way before/after. Thanks to 12 years of advocacy from West Seattle Bike Connections, West Seattleites now have a safe and family-friendly trail from the West Seattle low bridge to downtown! It was a massive rebuild of the street to better support large trucks 🚚🤝🚲
