State Senator Emily Alvarado just spoke to the Washington Low Income Housing Alliance annual meeting and observed that if Washington just adopted the average tax scheme of some other average state, we'd have around $300 million in extra revenue beyond what we have today.

Fixing Alki would be the easiest thing we could do in all of Seattle… it quite literally doesn’t go anywhere. There is no reason for anyone to be driving *through* and certainly not to expect doing so to be fast or efficient. We should use it as a model and drastically update it and reassign space.

We really need to stop being cowards and dream bigger for our public realms.
Alki can be not just car-light but car-free in some places if we actually tried. Lives genuinely depend on it.

@seattledot.bsky.social has a framework that acknowledges these horrific crashes are preventable, Vision Zero.
However, there’s no framework (e.g. Emergency Streets) to rapidly respond to horrific crashes and ongoing known hazards.

we're starting to dream about the improvements we'd like to see in the Junction! what problems do you experience? what would you like to see??
Reducing California Way in the junction to one drive lane each way (or just pedestrianizing it altogether) would pretty quickly solve this issue
