I don't think we want to see multiple extra times in soccer though. Players just completely gassed, jogging around the field.

That is also the narrowest part of the path. I anticipate some conflicts there as it's not wide enough for three riders abreast (two side-by-side and a passing rider the other way).

How does it "beat VisionZero parameters"?

It's wild these 5 year old (temporary) orange barrels haven't all been replaced at this point.

Yeah, it's hard when another country does unpredictable things for no apparent reason......

Regardless of Harrell doing the right thing on this issue, much of Seattle doesn't like him for very valid reasons.

Guest Rant: Bruce Harrell Is a Failure Unfit for Office

In this guest rant, contributor Ron Davis makes his case for why, with primary election ballots on the way, Seattle voters should dump the city's Mayor and former City Councilman Bruce Harrell.

Seattle has really been pumping them out the last decade, between Choe, Brandi, and Rufo.

Yeah, Brandi just became a conservative 2 years ago....

prayingforrain.bsky.social @prayingforrain.bsky.social · 2d

They have that at some of the Seattle branches already. Seems that would be a great stopgap for areas with poor library access!

Have you ridden it yet? We went on it a few days ago, and it's between 6-7 feet between the barrier and chain link fence in spots (narrower than a car lane).

Thanks Ryan. You always deliver the goods.

prayingforrain.bsky.social @prayingforrain.bsky.social · 2d

Except there is nowhere to turn to between Horton and Dearborn. And the full car lane is wider than sections of the new path (or the Andover lane you showed)

Hard for bikes to turn around or cars?

prayingforrain.bsky.social @prayingforrain.bsky.social · 2d

Do you have any idea of who it's serving then? Can't imagine a ton of bike traffic to the Longshoremen hall.

prayingforrain.bsky.social @prayingforrain.bsky.social · 2d

Is the section in red to be open in 2026 part of a new bike project further south on S Marginal? Or on Spokane? Seems pretty orphaned now otherwise.

I'm honestly going to miss the lane on the road. No lights/stops. It's wider than some sections of this new path. And traffic and freight didn't implode.

We could have saved money on this path and just put up some jersey barriers for the current lane.

How are people still buying this. Or how do they still think people are buying this.

25k is a "rural community"???

"a former mainstream TV journalist turned conservative commentator"

I thought Brandi was such a centrist.....

And she had Trump derangement syndrome for 8 years! Who knew?

Super low-level of enforcement also has not helped. Drivers know you can go a week without even seeing a traffic officer.

I truly believe that cars break people. You get in one, and you are not always yourself.

Juxtaposed against Wilson NOT going down the "Harrell once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman" road.....

Only one campaign is trying to make this ugly.

It's crazy how he can't even just keep it together in these types of interviews. They aren't even particularly hard. Just make a positive spin on a tough question and move on. That's politics 101. An insight into how it must be to work with him.
