TL;DR the land use committee adopted a new amendment that considerably scaled back the new requirements around public outreach. It's now not expected to add any significant time or cost to light rail projects. Full vote next week.

City plans to add 150 parking spaces next to too-skinny Alki Trail + An easy way to widen the trail as part of the project #SEAbikes #Seattle

Lane removal now. There’s no reason Rainier should be six lanes wide here with 2 foot sidewalks squeezed right up against the car lanes so you have to duck mirrors of passing trucks.

This is actually on the table with this transportation levy, which includes repaving funds for Rainier between Little Saigon and Mount Baker.

DC streetcar was so poorly designed: —No dedicated lanes & thus frequently obstructed by traffic —No connection to Metro or even the front of Union Station —No enforced signal priority, slowing trains —No real effort to improve the streetscape —Too many stops (8 stations/2.4 mi)

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

+1 to this. This bridge and trail is what reconnecting communities looks like. Getting between SE Redmond and Downtown meant a stressful crossing of 520. Now it’s stress free.

In a survey of 2,000 Puget Sound residents, a full majority of respondents said that they feel unsafe walking or biking on the major roadways near them, with a full 67% saying they feel unsafe using a bicycle on major roadways (or simply crossing them) where they live.

‘Redmond was ready for light rail before Sound Transit was.’ Been dreaming about this piece since I worked at the City of Redmond back in 2011. Great quotes from @kellireef.bsky.social & @kccclaudia.bsky.social and reporting from @nickdeshais.bsky.social www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Checking out the brand new safety redesign of N 130th St — it’s looking good! I’m hearing it is already helping to reduce spending, and once the new Pinehurst light rail station opens it should encourage people to walk and bike there.
