At this moment, the City of Seattle has three active, officially declared, civil emergencies: the homelessness crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the current unrest tied to protests of the killing of George Floyd.

I'm saddened and frustrated that this is the second cyclist death on NE 8th in less than a year. I'm frustrated that there's going to be another ghost bike on our streets. I'm pained for this victim's family and loved ones. You wanna know a cruel irony in this?

We MUST stop moving folks who have no other shelter options, especially now. Let’s navigate people to housing and shelter, and when there is none then focus on assistance with healthcare, counciling, sanitation supplies, and public education about the crisis at hand. Not sweeps.
137th and Midvale. Sweeps still taking place in Seattle WA. Residents let us know that they were not offered a ride to a shelter and that they were told their belongings would be thrown away if they weren’t moved. We must take care of EVERYONE during this time. #stopthesweeps

Many people are understandably anxious about #coronavirus. But flu and colds have similar symptoms. If you have cough, fever, or other symptoms, call your regular doctor first. Do not go to the emergency room. ERs need to be able to serve the most critical needs.

Have you ever been frustrated when walking/rolling by traffic signals that...
1) Don’t give you enough time to cross the street safely,
2) Take forever to give you a walk light to cross,
or
3) Make you push a beg button to get a walk light?

I just love that a dozen people will turn up on a chilly Monday evening to talk about how traffic signals that prioritize people (not cars)! If you missed tonight’s meeting, message me and we’ll get you plugged in.
Would you like to cross the street? We are working on the @SNGreenways campaign for sane signals in Seattle.

This grab shows "USS" for University Street Station, soon to be Union Street/Symphony, on a dispatching screen. Staff @soundtransit say changing acronyms would have driven up software cost. Angle Lake Station is "200" which reflects that for years it was known as S. 200th St....

When you build a comfortable, safe, and convenient network of protected bike lanes people use them. A lot!

It's a white knuckle ride whatever time you choose Eastlake Ave by bike. The all ages alternative, via Fremont, adds a lot of time. 2024 can't come soon enough. Thursday, tet's remind our council Transpo chair that it's already a busy route, and there's latent demand.
The community open house for the planned protected bikeway on Eastlake Ave. is coming up, and we need your help to advocate for people who bike. Join us Thursday Jan 30, to share support for safer biking on Eastlake. 6pm @ TOPS School

Reminder that Oakland PD stopped issuing tickets to bike riders altogether since Oct 2018, and there has been no associated spike in bike crashes since. Enforcement efforts against bike riders, especially those targeting youth, are *not* about safety. nitter.gq/prinzrob/status/116219…
Presentation from OPD traffic division says they haven’t issued any bike/walk tickets since Oct 2018, only warnings. Officer cites improved infrastructure as a key factor in reduced bike collisions. Fatal crashes overall (all modes) down a hair from previous year. #oakmtg

News organizations should protect their journalists, not acquiesce to the mob when it comes for them. The Washington Post not only failed Felicia Sonmez, but set a dangerous precedent.

Agree that Thursday is about demonstrating that there is support for the bike lanes along Eastlake, to prove that the project is supported, and that Eastlake is the best route (vs. a "parallel" route). Presence at this meeting, even without speaking up is important and valuable.

RapidRide J Enviro Assessment says 1,700+ bike riders cross University Bridge per day. Eastlake bike lanes are important for keeping all of these people safe. Ask our councilmember to uphold Seattle’s commitment to transportation safety during the community meeting on Thursday.
