A year ago, SDOT said painting a bus only lane on Denny Way wasn't possible. Now it has one, so maybe it's time we stop worrying about traffic models. youtu.be/PADsDn-fj6E
This Bus Only Lane Wasn't Supposed to be Possible

Katie Wilson is in Beacon Hill this afternoon announcing a brand new executive order targeting changes dealing with traffic safety across city government. The five-section order is beefy, and I think it represents the biggest reaffirmation of Vision Zero in Seattle since the initial 2015 commitment.
New video is out. After a ghost bike was installed on 12th & Yesler, I figured I should do one about bike infrastructure. youtu.be/3YN0dighs-Q

Urbanist Philomena Cunk. In the suburbs, every house comes with a "lawn", which is a tiny patch of nature you own, but you’re not allowed to let it actually be nature.
I'm looking forward to the Ocarina of Time direct where they spend fifteen minutes explaining where you get the 40 rupees needed to buy the Deku Shield.

Recently, Sound Transit announced some drastic changes to the Sound Transit 3 expansion, so for this video, I step through reports from Transit Cost Project and Eno Center for Transportation that help explain why building transit is expensive and takes so long. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BFd...

RapidRide G hit a huge milestone last month seeing 7,325 weekday average boardings Its high water mark is now at over 3,250 riders per mile. A single digit number of cities have a bus line with a ridership per mile half that high and only a few with ridership per mile higher

I know I said I'll do a Crosslake Connection, but I am honestly getting kind of bored of making Link Light Rail videos. I think it will be easier to make after I talked about other topics first. I have been sitting on an urban canopies script since December that I'd rather work on.
Sound Transit has a survey up around the realignment of the ST3 plan. It's very high level and doesn't ask about specific projects, but does have an open form question at the end where you can list your priorities. soundtransit.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

The new Yesler Way protected bike lane is OPEN. This is a new protected connection for people biking and scooting between the Waterfront and Seattle Ferry Terminal to Seattle's downtown bike network. Our crews sent us some photos. Info: www.seattle.gov/transportati...
Seattle Department of Transportation@transportation.seattle.gov · 7mo agoCrews are out along Yesler Way in Pioneer Square to complete a new connection for people biking & scooting between the Waterfront and the downtown bike network today & into the weekend. Plus: the new all-way walk signal is ON at Yesler and 1st! Info: www.seattle.gov/transportati...
If you're counting on a train at 10am I have to let you know the speeches are still going and there's no way that's happening.
Unacceptable. Let's organize to Save Ballard Rail. DM me if you want to help. Guiding principles: ▶️ Must build the entire line & stations shown below ▶️ Must build as quickly as possible ▶️ Cannot come at expense of other ST3 projects ▶️ Savings come from adopting Euro practices ▶️ Will need more $$
Ryan Packer@typewriteralley.bsky.social · 7mo agoMy initial takeaway from today's Sound Transit board retreat: www.theurbanist.org/sound-transi...
It is absurd that we had to wait a year after the waterfront trail opened to have a direct connection on Yesler, when the rest of the path is a mere two blocks away, but it's good that it is happening. This Saturday, I will publish my video on the revised waterfront, which will touch on this.
Seattle Department of Transportation@transportation.seattle.gov · 8mo agoIt’s happening! Yesler Way is getting a new protected bike lane from Occidental Ave S to the waterfront.

I was going to make a video on the Federal Way extension, but I am getting sick of my GoPro losing footage for seemingly no reason. Not sure if its getting old or what. I'll probably just postpone it until after getting a new camera and try again next month.
So, they finally add volume sliders to Mario Kart World and of course they do it in the most Nintendo way possible. Instead of sliders from 0% to 100% across different sound types, it's a toggle for the music to go from Normal to Loud, with loud barely being louder than normal.
