Oh wow that is an awesome proposal. I was hopeful that East Link would provide a venue for more restructure given the better headways.

I think with an 11 to Seattle Center and the 49+60+36, we'd realize 90% of this vision? I do empathize with the slope problems in Summit tho

Oh what was the proposal??

It too annoys me that there’s like 5 ways to go downtown and none of them are rather frequent

Tech Companies Can’t Get Enough of This Picturesque Seattle Suburb Amazon, TikTok and OpenAI are among the firms taking office space in Bellevue, Wash., where rents are higher than in Seattle.

“Bellevue office rents are more than $64 a square foot compared with about $51 in Seattle—a sharp reversal from early 2018 when downtown owners commanded higher rents at $47 versus $44.” www.wsj.com/real-estate/...

On complained are you talking about the 49 + 36? Or the RR G restructure?

“We are reaching out to Route 8. Please join us at our bus stop tonight when you’re ready. We bring offerings of orca cards”

No I'm not sure. council won't vote on the final plan as amended until November

Happy to send over more info if you're interested or explain more if needed

I just don’t think Bruce Harrell has the experience needed to lead such a large city

Looks like the driver tried to turn right out of the center lane (and pass the cyclist)

Curb cut work closing E Thomas Street west of Broadway

We've been piloting having a traffic diverter on my Capitol Hill Street all week, and it's been working out great. I'd love to know how to use this data to make it permanent.

Yea but it’ll be like a 30 min wait just to get on the platform

How are we gonna host the freakin WORLD CUP?!?!?

Why wouldn’t they wait until NR rezone passes?

Bus stop improvements and a hardened center line is scheduled there sometime before January

All those stairs and circulation space tho.

I could see 6 unit buildings cause of the building code

A license to sell food? You know I’d like to see some competency exhibited by individuals before they poison me

Do we know who actually maintains each section tho?

Seattle is number 1 for percent working in tech at 15% and it’s not like what this guy describes. I think he just has shitty friends

Have friends with some pretty gnarly stories of trying to get rides back from concerts at Tacoma dome.

Now it’ll be a no brainer!

Capitol Hill Updates to Support Route 2’s Return to E Union St - SDOT Blog Blog post providing information about updates to E Union St between 12th Ave and 11th Ave, in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood.

And we have a backpedal from SDOT.

"[W]e are updating our approach to meet the changes requested by Metro to support Route 2, while continuing conversations and evaluations with all stakeholders before advancing changes to bus lane uses."

That’s a very long way to say that lol.

Also for reference, they told us they were considering painting the lane red *and* allowing cars. So don’t let them use red paint as an excuse

Where does it say that

Meeting up with the 7 at a Boeing access road station would be awesome

I’m surprised the 545 isn’t being sent through SLU either

Overnight Service Proposal Purpose & Goals • Provide overnight bus service along Link lines and core ST Express network. • Serve riders and destinations with continuous or nontraditional need, such as hospitals and the airport. • Combined with Metro’s late-night network, 85% of Link station areas would be served all day and all night. Service Proposal • Three routes: Everett-Seattle, Lakewood-SEA-Seattle, and Redmond-Seattle • Service from approx. midnight to 5 a.m., 7 days/wk; could also support Link maintenance window expansion • Headways: 15-60min

This is big news: Sound Transit is proposing to launch a new overnight ST Express network, once Federal Way and East Link are both fully operational.

There would be three routes: Everett-Seattle, Lakewood-SeaTac-Seattle, and Redmond-Seattle. Headways are still TBD, but expected to be around 30 min.

I assume a low vision pedestrian would be alerted by the yellow bumps but that may not be a safe assumption.

I think moreso I trust a bus driver to do this unsignalized more than a car driver when it’s signaled

I figured that too but if a bus is deploying a ramp at that stop and cars are trying to go through there, they will block the intersection far longer than this

If bus drivers know to yield, the current setup seems safer imo. I don’t think raised crosswalks communicate to peds that you have a signal and may have to yield

Seattle and Portland both score well on affordability in terms of median wage vs. median studio rent.
