I remember living in a state that cared about climate change.

Attending day 2 of a conference about sidewalk data. Here’s a path in NW Queen Anne to frequent bus, on an arterial, to the ship canal bike path that has been a known incomplete problem for years that the city needs to just take over already. @seattledot.bsky.social

My pie in the sky dream of turning golf courses into housing and public access parks 🤝 yours of bike connections through them
