A crossing guard was killed by the driver of a dump truck yesterday. absolutely heartbreaking.
Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Katie’s path to the Mayor’s office depends upon your ballot — and probably your friends’ and coworkers’, too! Track your ballot and fix any issues at the following links! Next, send these links to 10 friends and family to make sure Katie wins. #thisisyourcity

It's so funny that we will add station signage months before it's accurate, but we won't just call a station "Federal Way" because we'll eventually add a second one in that city sometime in the 2030s.
Even more than the fact that the trains don't go to these places yet, the new signage is confusing to visitors in that it might lead them to believe Federal Way has a downtown.

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.

“Why does transit seem to be in an endless emergency? Why is it so easy to assume that transit’s financial situation is hopeless? Because we have constructed our transportation funding streams to make transit’s costs visible, while the costs of car dependence are mostly concealed.”

Notre ville change ! Nos rues sont peu à peu rendues aux habitants, de nouveaux arbres sont plantés et les promenades facilitées et sécurisées.

C'est le cas de la rue Chaptal dans le 9e ou celle du Docteur-Lecène dans le 13e !

You hear transportation engineers (especially for state DOTs) say stuff like, "People want to drive. We're not in the business of social engineering." Honey, your profession has socially engineered our society since the 1950s. It's time to invest more fairly across transportation modes
Imagine a 100m race where we’ve given cars an 80m head start after many decades of building almost ONLY for them. If we then set a transportation goal of “balance” between many more choices in getting around, by definition we have to prioritize the new choices for a while, or they’ll never catch up.

KEEP CREATING STARTER PACKS AND SHARING THOSE CREATED BY OTHERS! It’s a great way to keep growing this place and the many communities we have here!
NEW STARTER PACK! I decided that “Better Transportation & Mobility” deserved its own starter pack. There are others out there on transportation, streets, bikes, public transit etc but this one has my faves. Who have I missed? Please explore, follow and share! #UrbanistShoutOut go.bsky.app/MBL7PrE

50%!!!
Hot damn. Katie Wilson crosses the 50% threshold. If we had runoff-cutoff elections in Seattle, Bruce Harrell would be done; as it is, he's at a bruised 41.7 percent with not a whole lot of ballots left to count.

The Seattle Times should probably give up endorsing candidates. They don’t seem to enjoy it. They’re bad at it. And no one seems interested in electoral recommendations from a grizzled old nepo baby and his acolytes.
