At least everyone is getting a solid reply/response. Keep up the good fight, people.

How is this "America First"???

I wonder if they get to a point where they make the tunnel free? Clearly, it's not generating the revenue they expected. Make it free for a few years, grow the demand, and THEN add back a small toll?

Of talking about Goldschmidt's stint as transportation secretary! (Which ended in 1981!)

"Car drivers aren't subsidized"

This crowd sounds stuck in the 1950s.

That's why it's so easy for them to demonize the "they" (i.e. everyone else). And why they constantly have to be aggrieved or under attack or have some kind of crisis.

Austin. It happened in Austin.
And it's simple supply and demand. I don't understand why so many people refuse to believe in a simple economic concept.

Is some of this the result of much more expensive "babysitting"?

Long gone are the days of the middle or high school neighbor down the street watching kids for 3-4 hours.

I don't think we want to see multiple extra times in soccer though. Players just completely gassed, jogging around the field.

That is also the narrowest part of the path. I anticipate some conflicts there as it's not wide enough for three riders abreast (two side-by-side and a passing rider the other way).

It's wild these 5 year old (temporary) orange barrels haven't all been replaced at this point.

Yeah, it's hard when another country does unpredictable things for no apparent reason......

Guest Rant: Bruce Harrell Is a Failure Unfit for Office In this guest rant, contributor Ron Davis makes his case for why, with primary election ballots on the way, Seattle voters should dump the city's Mayor and former City Councilman Bruce Harrell.

Regardless of Harrell doing the right thing on this issue, much of Seattle doesn't like him for very valid reasons.

Seattle has really been pumping them out the last decade, between Choe, Brandi, and Rufo.

They have that at some of the Seattle branches already. Seems that would be a great stopgap for areas with poor library access!

Have you ridden it yet? We went on it a few days ago, and it's between 6-7 feet between the barrier and chain link fence in spots (narrower than a car lane).

Thanks Ryan. You always deliver the goods.

Except there is nowhere to turn to between Horton and Dearborn. And the full car lane is wider than sections of the new path (or the Andover lane you showed)

Hard for bikes to turn around or cars?

Do you have any idea of who it's serving then? Can't imagine a ton of bike traffic to the Longshoremen hall.

Is the section in red to be open in 2026 part of a new bike project further south on S Marginal? Or on Spokane? Seems pretty orphaned now otherwise.

09.10.2025 16:53 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I'm honestly going to miss the lane on the road. No lights/stops. It's wider than some sections of this new path. And traffic and freight didn't implode.

We could have saved money on this path and just put up some jersey barriers for the current lane.

How are people still buying this. Or how do they still think people are buying this.

"a former mainstream TV journalist turned conservative commentator"

I thought Brandi was such a centrist.....

And she had Trump derangement syndrome for 8 years! Who knew?
