Rob Saka’s curb feud got more public process than some of these major budget changes.
These are among the very-last-last-minute amendments Strauss put on the agenda last night for a vote today. Strauss says that they need to "begin weaning ourselves off of using JumpStart for the general fund"—arguably something they should have started doing already!

Lime/Bird (bike & scooter share) are really great for connecting to things like Link Light Rail quickly but the cost just seems too high for daily use.

We've slightly updated our handle on BlueSky to verify ourselves. Instead of the usual "@bsky" username were now @bhsafestreets.org.

BlueSky's verification model relies on domain access of some type to validate your access to an organization's domain, theoretically proving legitimacy.

Pacific Northwest’s Largest Highway Project Ever Is in Deep Denial - The Urbanist
# Proponents of a $7.5 billion project to widen I-5 and replace the Columbia River bridge are ignoring induced demand, creating faulty traffic models that obscure its real environmental impact.

Free face masks are seemingly back in stock (or at least some of them) on King County Metro buses! They tend to stock these during the fall and winter months now. #transit #health #safety 🚎😷🍂❄️

Why do the newer Link trains say "Lynnwood City Center" like it's confused about where it's going. Almost worse than the older trains saying "This is the One Line!" like it learned something new
