Change is possible. E Marginal Way before/after. Thanks to 12 years of advocacy from West Seattle Bike Connections, West Seattleites now have a safe and family-friendly trail from the West Seattle low bridge to downtown! It was a massive rebuild of the street to better support large trucks 🚚🤝🚲

before, busy street with trucks and cars all over the roads and skinny paint only bike lane. no sidewalk

seperated trail from roadway with truck on the street

It's a rainy weekday in October and Pike Place is as busy as any sunny summer weekend. I think the disappearance of non-essential car traffic is a huge help. This setup should be made permanent.

Went on a bike ride for a haircut and to test out the route (uses the entire Georgetown to Downtown Safety Project) for a celebration bike ride in the Duwamish Valley coming this Sunday with @sngreenways.bsky.social @seattledot.bsky.social @cascade.org It feels so good to be able to ride again!

Great news: Sales at Pike Place Market were up 7.5% in August too! That's three months of solid data showing the pedestrianization pilot is good for business.

Last Friday, we hosted a celebration ride in the new Beacon Hill bike lanes.

10 years of grassroots organizing = real urban transformation.

Big thanks to @seattledot.bsky.social and every neighbor who refused to give up.

Together, we can build safer, more accessible streets for everyone.
