| 1637504772428419072 | 1/2 Quick story: being tired of encountering drivers parking in the bike lanes at each side of Pike & Boren on Capitol Hill and absolutely no response to reports/FIFI/etc from @seattledot, I did a little experiment a week ago by installing my own signs @carbikelanesea #SEAbikes https://t.co/Yvg08aZDVX | 42 |
| 1639803164777152512 | @pike_place Do you think this space could be better without an abundance of cars? How about you @seattledot? https://t.co/rXx9HXx6Ze | 11 |
| 1638380020849872897 | A kid was hit near or at the place @seattledot removed a painted crosswalk and did nothing. Weird how @MayorofSeattle @bruceharrell lets his DOT harm children while doing nothing. He's not leading with bikes, he's leading with casualties. https://t.co/ojFuvBQ2bh | 11 |
| 1639863296722620416 | THURSDAY SWEEP: Just in the past year, I have now covered ten sweeps in this area. RV owners openly say they will simply circle around the neighborhood and come right back in a few days or weeks. City and @Seattledot cannot keep up with enforcement.

| 1637811968684982272 | As my 6 yo and I walked to the bus Sunday, 2 cars nearly hit us, x-ing MLK @ McClellan. Not uncommon.💔 But then my kid found this on the ground and whispered “love is everywhere.” Show South Seattle some💗 w/ traffic calming, LPIs etc, @seattledot @Spottnik @MayorofSeattle! https://t.co/TzenIVDDI4 | 8 |
| 1637981388665417729 | .@seattledot there is clearly heavy load/unload demand for this block of 8th Ave in SLU. It's one of the highest reported @carbikelanesea blocked bike lane locations in the city. Can we turn this unnecessary turn lane into a load/unload lane and give the bike lane a real barrier? https://t.co/QA71ryxht5 https://t.co/9ZY5rV8WH4 | 7 |
| 1637935630268379136 | I'm excited for our @SeattleCityClub Civic Boot Camp: a 3-part series on #transportation #accessibility. Our 3/29 event is virtual, w/ execs from @seattledot, @MyCommTrans, @KingCountyMetro, and @SoundTransit discussing current work and future vision. https://t.co/hWsP6fwxUq | 7 |
| 1636870543772360704 | @kcexec @seattledot @whitecenterfood @KCCouncil @SeattleCouncil @Lisa_Herbold @JoeMcDermottWA @4Culture @MayorofSeattle @Burien With the H Line connecting to the F Line at Burien Transit Center, it will now be possible to travel almost the entirety of the RapidRide network without using another bus to connect RapidRide routes.

| 1637512432481615873 | @bobco85 @seattledot @carbikelanesea This is like one of those “local 4th grader raises $80k to pay for their parent’s cancer treatment” stories. Good, but so depressing. It’s depressing how lazy SDOT is about anything outside or motor vehicle traffic. Lazy, or they just don’t care. I fear the latter. | 123 |

| 1639483272144257025 | @LukeDistelhorst @seattledot Can you even imagine having Typed-Note-In-A-Ziploc kind of time on your hands?! My mind is boggled. | 79 |
| 1637513368004341761 | @MattBaume @seattledot @carbikelanesea I like that idea; now I’m thinking about how many cinderblocks I can carry on my bike! | 63 |
| 1637514786551500800 | @PaulrusOf @seattledot @carbikelanesea SDOT launched an “Even Better Bike Lanes” pilot (see link) last summer to look at a few locations, & some downtown bike lanes are getting concrete protection (8th most recently, Pike/Pine underway), but it’s been unable to deal w this problem citywide https://t.co/Xi31XREbko | 60 |
| 1637856198929309697 | My first big project came on-line this weekend: the @KingCountyMetro RapidRide H Line! I lead the civil design for @seattledot Delridge Multimodal Corridor from West Sea Br to Graham St. Incredibly cool to be able to have this positive impact on our community. Next up: G Line 😎 https://t.co/HFV8IX3fH6 | 58 |
