I was chatting with another parent at the playground yesterday and he said “since getting our cargo bike, biking my daughter to and from school every day is the best part of my day.” I agreed. I never feel this way about driving my kids around in our car. How we travel matters. 🚲 ❤️

Big turnout for last night’s celebration ride of the new 11th/12th Ave NE protected bike lanes! We rolled from U District Station to Green Lake. Thanks to everyone who came out! #SeattleByBike #ProtectedBikeLanes #PeoplePowered #UrbanJoy

The Beacon Ave/15th Ave S bike lanes are looking great! A total game changer for safely and conveniently biking from Beacon Hill to the CID and beyond! It’s still under construction but much of it is already rideable. Learn more www.seattle.gov/transportati... Get involved with @bhsafestreets.org

This program was "wildly successful" at addressing one of voters' top issues - so Dems in #waleg and @governorferguson.bsky.social cut it. Just mind-boggling.

Good chart from a study in Montreal of the impact of a school street on active & independent travel to a primary school. Children were more likely to travel independently on school street days* (every Friday) than other days. Available here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

No official announcement from the Seattle Public Library, but the Museum Pass program — which allows cardholders to get free admission once every 30 days at venues like MoPOP, the Museum of Flight, and the Woodland Park Zoo — is back up and running after pausing at the end of 2024.

NYC DOT is rolling out a new design for conventional bike lanes that will improve safety + visibility for everyone at crossings, where half of all traffic deaths occur. The agency will begin adding these along select new & existing lanes w/high crash rates. More: www.nyc.gov/html/dot/htm...

When we push for walkability, bike lanes, and good transit, it's called "forcing a lifestyle." But when the auto industry traps you in a car-dependent society and drains your wallet, that’s somehow called “freedom.” Got it...

The morning experience on Pike Place, which is pedestrianized except for permitted vehicles, is a lot better than Occidental, which allows all vehicles until 11 am. Come visit some morning and enjoy a Bagel Bop 🥯, Le Panier 🥐 , or Crumpet Shop bite and tell me what you think.

One thing I've found after doing this work for a dozen years now is that it is absolutely essential to celebrate the victories along the way. It's not a nice to have. It is critical to sustaining ourselves, our relationships, and our movement for safe and welcoming streets for all. So join me 🚲🍦!

Love these maps, which show SDOT's analysis of where street trees could be planted in Capitol Hill, South Park, SODO, and Roxhill. Let's plant street trees at scale!

There are openings for volunteers to serve on the Seattle Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Boards. They are used as a sounding board for SDOT as it comes up with projects and policy ideas. Consider applying! sdotblog.seattle.gov/2025/06/04/s...
