Yay for safe crossing of NW 15th in Ballard!
Counted 50 people celebrating a new traffic light, so at least I'm not alone.

Three years ago we opened the first bike project that was started and finished during my initial two months as Director of SDOT. The project completed the cycletrack around Green Lake by placing concrete barriers to take a small slice of Aurora for bikes on the east side of the lake.

i rode Rapid Ride D up to Ballard just to try the new pushbutton signal at 15th Ave NW and 51st St. i saw two different people use it within 5 mins. So happy to see a more people-friendly environment on what used to feel like a surface highway

Given the Link light rail's rapid expansion, Seattle now has the fastest transit ridership growth of any major US metro area, beating out the continued recovery of DC

🛴 Shared scooters and bikes were a big hit in Seattle this year: more than average 46,000 daily rides during the period of May thru October. The Lime seated scooter, a new vehicle type, outpaced shared e-bikes for second place after standing scooters

Right turn restrictions at Denny and Westlake are speeding up the streetcar (and Route 40, C Line) and making it easier for pedestrians to cross at the same time.
