I got to talk to one of Allie's friends, who confirmed they used they/them pronouns. Allie was described as a strong human being with an incredibly distinctive personality and a great sense of humor.

The crowd here at the vigil did comply with SPD's request to get out of the road by 10pm.
The SPD supervisor who came out to talk with the crowd did say that someone approached them with potential camera footage from overnight specifically because they saw tonight's vigil.

The person who was killed last night crossing Beacon Ave on a bike by a hit-and-run driver was named Allie. They were described as a "hard-core cyclist."
The vigil/protest is expected to take over Beacon and Stevens until midnight, if SPD lets that happen.

I visited Beacon Ave S and S Stevens Street this morning to understand why a street that was just rebuilt by SDOT can still have a tragedy occur.

couldn't agree more. there's nowhere in Seattle RRFBs are good replacement for a 4-way stop. I especially dislike them where greenway routes cross arterials. Drivers do not yield unless you aggressively step or roll into the road even with lights activated. and sometimes, they don't even stop.
Pretty much every "nighthawk" intersection should be a stop sign.
Bad street design, purposely meant to increase traffic speeds in pedestrian heavy areas.

Just after midnight last night, a driver struck and killed a 38-year man who was riding his bike at Beacon Avenue S and S Stevens Street in a hit-and-run.

Rob Saka’s curb feud got more public process than some of these major budget changes.
These are among the very-last-last-minute amendments Strauss put on the agenda last night for a vote today. Strauss says that they need to "begin weaning ourselves off of using JumpStart for the general fund"—arguably something they should have started doing already!

Lime/Bird (bike & scooter share) are really great for connecting to things like Link Light Rail quickly but the cost just seems too high for daily use.
