THANK YOU ALL for coming out and supporting the 8!!! It’s honestly so surreal how much fun we had today and how amazing it is to know how many people care about this bus as much as I do!

I'm writing up an extensive case study of Bologna's transit priority policies, and when I write down the numbers of the 1984 referendum on a car-lite city center, I don't know if I'm more amazed by the turnout (90%?!?) or the % of yes (almost 70%)

It's just a world that no longer exists...

Do you look at small agencies? Saw that Columbus Ohio added night service and now has 10-15% growth

Another month of US transit agency data is just in, and DC's WMATA remains the fastest-growing major US transit agency, with ridership up 13% compared to last year

King County Metro (Seattle) & SEPTA (Philly) have also performed well, while LA Metro & NJTransit have lost riders

Yeah ik but it’s just a much larger effort from a pragmatic side esp if Ballard Link isn’t open

Yea but it’s a lot harder to sell that map than it is to sell tweaking a few lines

I think the elephant in the room is that there aren’t enough service hours for that. Maybe the 49/60/36 yields extra? But that’s a big project

Oh wow that is an awesome proposal. I was hopeful that East Link would provide a venue for more restructure given the better headways.

I think with an 11 to Seattle Center and the 49+60+36, we'd realize 90% of this vision? I do empathize with the slope problems in Summit tho

Oh what was the proposal??

It too annoys me that there’s like 5 ways to go downtown and none of them are rather frequent

"Because it is Lisa" and "because I want her out of the homelessness business." That's what Deputy Mayor Tiffany Washington said when asked why she denied a request by Purpose Dignity Action, headed by Lisa Daugaard, to open a shelter in North Seattle.

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.
Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

Looks like the driver tried to turn right out of the center lane (and pass the cyclist)

We've been piloting having a traffic diverter on my Capitol Hill Street all week, and it's been working out great. I'd love to know how to use this data to make it permanent.
