Proposition 1––which extends and expands Spokane Transit service for another 20 years––is a nail-biter. Yes: 31,153 (50.38%) No: 30,686 (49.62%) It needs 50% + 1 to pass.
A bus lane is only as good as the drivers who stay off of it.
I'm over here worried about inviting candidates I like to events that I am working on lest it be seen as @rvgreenways.bsky.social favoring a candidate and the tree people are literally posting an endorsement slate from their c3.
Interesting to see the bus lane paint be a solid yellow line between the bus and the cars. In Seattle, we use intermittent full width red which inevitably fades away from the bus’s tires. imo, Bergamo’s paint makes it clear the bus lane is continuous and that cars can’t enter between red swaths
Marco Chitti@chittimarco.bsky.social · 2d agoToday Bergamo's suburban e-BRT line started regular revenue service It mostly connects Bergamo's main station to a few large suburban municipalities and industrial areas to the south-west. It cost €84 M (including 15 artic buses) for some 30-ish km (70% in dedicated lanes) ebrt.atb.bergamo.it
Good morning. The past 42 hours have been something. Spokane Transit has been assisting with evacuations, from the VA Hospital to assisted living and retirement centers as recent as this AM. Multiple employees have lost their homes. I appreciate the thoughts and prayers for Spokane.
The Yale slip lane is now permanently closed, with Boren handling all I-5 traffic! We had a great time meeting the SDOT crew and can't wait to see the improvements this will bring for the L8! We'll head back down later today to share some more photos after everything is fully installed.
Simply incredible that we're finally going to fix the L8.
New bus lane is coming along! Thanks @transportation.seattle.gov !! This weekend involves a bit of rechanneling traffic. Actual bus lane will be painted in a few weeks.
SoDo station has reopened. 1 line closed from Capitol Hill to Stadium Station. Approaching 12 hours since the derailment. I've asked Sound Transit about possible damage to the tracks and train cars. They're still assessing, they say.
Casey Martin@caseyworks.bsky.social · 4d agoAn empty light rail train derailed at the CID station around midnight last night. Sound Transit says it was on its way to help with concert crowds. No injuries reported. 1 Line is stopped from Capitol Hill to SoDo. 2 Line: between Capitol Hill and Judkins Park. No timeline on return to service.
To my fellow Seattleites - Ballard Link is alive and well. I can assure you I’ve been a good patient. At my age, doctor’s orders are not just a recommendation. We’ve done every test and multiple studies and trust, I am healthy. As much as this frustrates me, process takes time. - XOXO, BLE
Went to the wrong exit at Capitol Hill station for the first time in like 5 years. Fake fan
Exploring Granville Street Pedestrian Zone today with Downtown Van showing us the big success and the problem points and learnings they’ve had along the way!
They need to rerun this poll in Seattle for “do you think you’ll ever talk to someone who will be alive when the Ballard Link opens?”
The Mayor was essential for getting the Denny Way bus lanes across the finish line, but this project would not have been prioritized (it was her first executive order) without pressure from advocates. Congrats again to the @fixthel8.bsky.social team!
Nick@nicksattele.bsky.social · 5d ago3 years ago when canvassing Denny Way, I don’t think anyone really thought this was possible (even me). It was eye opening hearing so many bus riders assume that cars and traffic were always gonna be more important than their mobility. A year ago they were right but now we have a new mayor!

Seattle Department of Transportation@transportation.seattle.gov · 5d agoROUTE 8 and DENNY WAY: starting on Saturday, buses and cars merging onto Interstate 5 won’t compete for the same lane of Denny Way. To keep traffic flowing, people driving to I-5 south from eastbound Denny Way will turn right on Boren Ave and left on Howell St instead of using Yale Ave.
Honestly pretty surprised at this anti Jamie Pedersen mailer funded by Brian Heywood and Kemper Freeman. I would have assumed they’re more scared of the socialist!
Skit idea: Katie Wilson press conference but every time she says something about Shon Barnes, the blue angels fly by so no one hears it
“People will say ‘I’ve lived here for 75 years, don’t take away my free parking.’ Well I’m going to live here for the NEXT 75 years and I want to get around my neighborhood safely”
Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis is my favorite bike advocacy video in a long time. I love how direct the kids are about saying they deserve to move about their neighborhood safely. Well done Piers Park Sailing! They have more videos on Instagram: www.instagram.com/piersparksai...
As a practical matter, placing all of the burden on events to provide security essentially eliminates any ability to create new events. The only organization that will be able to do events in Seattle is the Seafair group.
