We shouldn't have to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of tools for them to end up sitting in a closet or a garage for most of the year. That isn't worth the money or the space. Why not start a tool library so we can purchase once and share forever? 🛠💚

Your regular reminder Delft’s market square was a surface parking lot as recently as 2004.
A razor-thin coalition (19-18 votes) initiated a six-month pilot to help merchants realize cars don’t spend money, people do.
Years later, no one remembers the controversy or regrets the decision. *Sound on*

“Implementing raised crosswalks across a state highway ramp is a pretty big step with few other precedents in the state, and illustrates how far WSDOT has come on safety upgrades in recent years.”
Raised crosswalks and flashing beacons are set to be installed this summer at the I-90 ramps, which are steps from the forthcoming Judkins Park light rail station.

If they can put raised crosswalks across I-90 ramps, surely the City Of Kirkland can use them at CKC crossings.
Community members have long been sounding the alarm about having I-90 highway ramps right next to the forthcoming Judkins Park light rail station. But new upgrades are now planned before the station's opening.

If someone chooses to live in a smaller home in the inner city in part to avoid a long commute, they generally don’t pressure society to build them a bigger house with more stuff. So if you choose a bigger stuff-filled house in the suburbs, don’t expect society to build you a fast car commute.

“As researchers and good planners have long understood, it’s far cheaper to build and maintain public infrastructure to service denser forms of housing than it is to service low-density sprawl. It’s one of those intuitive truths that is also borne out by decades of research.”
