"The neighborhood’s streets and sidewalks could also be included in a broad strategy" Makes sense, what are their ideas to make our sidewalks safer and more comfortable? Make it easier for cars to turn Make it easier for cars to exit garages Crack down on street food 🙄🙄🙄

"In Seattle, pedestrian deaths also rose steadily over the past few years: 14 in 2019, 15 in 2020, 23 in 2021 and 22 in 2022. McKechnie says key factors include city design, time of day, speeding and distracted driving."

Stay for the Claudia Balducci quotes at the end.
“Walking makes us healthier, happier and more connected to our neighbors through spontaneous interactions. All of Seattle could become walkable with an ambitious Comprehensive Plan. We could build a city where everyone could walk to… daily necessities”

Paris announced it will build 415 km of bike lanes in time for the Olympics. What is Seattle's cycling plan for the World Cup?
Oh that would help with cars pushing the planters around. I wonder where the drained water goes?
Enthusiasm for transit is alive & well in Puget Sound. An incredible turnout at the @SoundTransit 2 Line opening
Today’s paper on walkability “The good news is that there is still time to fix this. We can build a walkable, affordable, and thriving city for all”. @GordonOfSeattle Wise words! 🙌 @SNGreenways @MayorofSeattle @CMRobSaka PS Puzzled why my neighborhood on Alki got cut 🤔

Cities aren’t inherently noisy, and in those places that manage to turn down the volume of motor vehicles, sound takes on an entirely different role. It can provide a communal, meditative, and therapeutic experience. Not by escaping from the city, but by immersing oneself in it.
Sweden typically places multiple speed cameras in a series on a given road. This new paper finds that their installation reduces crash deaths by an average of 38.6%. doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.…

my favorite aspect of the anti 15-minute-city freaks is they seem to think you’ll be locked into a 15 minute radius and be executed if you leave that zone
When arguing with a 15 minute city advocate, ask them “What happens if I get the opportunity of a lifetime…my dream job, 30 minutes away by car?” The mental gymnastics that ensue demonstrate how you just can’t plan and control something as complex as human society.
This is the goal folks. Make your community safe enough so that anyone, of any age, ability and experience level can safely, and comfortably, choose to get around by bike. 📍 Paris 🇫🇷 📷 @EmmanuelSPV
