Was just gonna angry post about how a KC Metro bus skipped the stop with three of us waiting. But then a passenger on the next bus gave my kid a hot rod car, so all is forgiven (and sometimes the 7 bus is the most amazing place and makes me love this city).

The leaves on Rainier Ave are making a pretty convincing argument that the center turn lanes don't get much use -- lots of excess road space that could be protected bike infrastructure.

Little known fact -- back when I used to race cyclecross I convinced my mom to drive me to Iowa City for Jingle Cross. I'm so much more looking forward to today's events than slogging up Mt. Krumpit.

Did that for kids at the school with the bike bus that didn't have bikes. It still doesn't address the barriers of kids not being able to participate if their caregivers can't join and/or can't pick up the bike at that end of the school day.

Seattle, if you want to spy our Waymo fleet, they're parked next to the Northgate light rail station (which says volumes about our failed TOD if we have way too much underused parking next to our high frequency transit)

Got to tour the Portland OHSU tram today and learn a little about the history/politics of its construction. Loved the bike valet and bike repair at the base offered for OHSU employees! (the initial space for 20 bikes at the base was woefully inadequate)
