Crosslake light rail update! Via CEO Dow Constantine at today's executive committee meeting: Sound Transit was just granted approval to start running test trains across I-90 during the day, in addition to the overnight testing that had been taking place.

Wanna keep the good vibes going after last night’s gathering at Town Hall? Check out this great new bike lane and complete street project in Portland! https://youtu.be/j2zVoAf_ins?si=n2XOCWe6WWMbAAx2

🍂 Seattle is Beautiful (taken this afternoon)

🚴 ❤️ Three years ago we opened the first bike project that was started and finished during my initial two months as Director of SDOT. The project completed the cycletrack around Green Lake by placing concrete barriers to take a small slice of Aurora for bikes on the east side of the lake.

i rode Rapid Ride D up to Ballard just to try the new pushbutton signal at 15th Ave NW and 51st St. i saw two different people use it within 5 mins. So happy to see a more people-friendly environment on what used to feel like a surface highway

🍂 The street trees of downtown Seattle are in full autumn color today. 🙏 I feel so grateful to have had the chance to be a steward of these streets: I’m thrilled to be staying engaged with the evolution of this great city

this aft i landed in Seatac, hopped on Link, and ran into @typewriteralley.bsky.social on the train. Transit is so much more social than private vehicle

Given the Link light rail's rapid expansion, Seattle now has the fastest transit ridership growth of any major US metro area, beating out the continued recovery of DC

🛴 Shared scooters and bikes were a big hit in Seattle this year: more than average 46,000 daily rides during the period of May thru October. The Lime seated scooter, a new vehicle type, outpaced shared e-bikes for second place after standing scooters

Thank you Seattle bridge operators!

i’m excited about the new c-curb in front of Whole Foods to restrict the curb lane for streetcar and buses. This will improve transit flow and create a safer pedestrian crossing walking northbound on Westlake. Congrats to @curtailes.bsky.social for his leadership in getting this installed

🚃 ♥️

i love how the Seattle Urbanism feed has gone ALL MARINERS let’s win this! ⚾️ 💚

i wish i was in town to join this first-day ride!!! 🚴‍♂️ 💚

Vancouver's regional transit system, TransLink, is now: -moving around 90% as many people as in 2019 -has recovered ridership faster than almost any other major NA transit system -TransLink's CEO Kevin Quinn attributes the success to factors such as frequency & density around transit stations

🚴‍♂️ 💚

thank you Anna for your leadership 💪

🚌 KCM increase driven, in part, but return-to-office push by major employers. By mid-2024, I saw way more people waiting for the bus in South Lake Union in the afternoon commute. Sometimes 20-35 people waiting on Fairview & Harrison for the northbound 70 bus

i’m thrilled to see the new levy bike program rolling out toronto barriers

last-mile delivery of parcels and food is a great opportunity for “right size then electrify” thinking 🍕 Seattle recently adopted a framework to facilitate deployment of cargo bike delivery 📦

One of the two curb extensions is now in place for the new crosswalk at Olive Way and Harvard.

if you weren’t able to attend, a recording of @spottnik.bsky.social‘s really inspiring presentation is available here! #WeekWithoutDriving #Bellingham

Great talk from @spottnik.bsky.social last night to kick off the #weekwithoutDriving. He set a high bar by managing the @seattledot.bsky.social without a personal or company vehicle. Enjoyed the management takeaways from his talk beyond the transportation ones.

Thank you Bellingham Walk & Roll for hosting me to speak about designing our streets for walking, biking, transit and placemaking! #WeekWithoutDriving

Bellingham Walk and Roll took me on a misty bike ride around town this aft, checking out the bike lanes and places that need improvement. My talk tonite is Sold Out: 4 city council candidates have RSVP’d! #WeekWithoutDriving

I am excited to be speaking tonight in Bellingham - please join me 😀 #WeekWithoutDriving

i’m excited about #WeekWithoutDriving i started early on Friday afternoon, taking Sounder from King St Station to the Mukilteo ferry terminal to visit a friend on Whidbey Island. The Sounder only runs northbound during pm rush hour Otherwise it’s a much longer trip requiring a transfer

folks along Eastlake are getting an awesome new concrete roadway courtesy of Rapid Ride J

Come to our table and say hi! We have Clara doing button making with kids, and @councilmember-amr.bsky.social, and @spottnik.bsky.social stopped by

So happy to be in town for the opening celebration of the Georgetown to Downtown & Georgetown to South Park bike lane projects 🚴‍♂️ 💚

Where am I? (Whidbey Island edition)

enjoying the Sounder ride so far: passed the waterfront, ballard locks, golden gardens, carkeek park, and currently gliding smoothly up the edge of elliott bay 🚆 💙

😀 😀 best selfie of the month happened this morning @alexis4seattle.bsky.social

I’m a Yale Man but the new bulb out on Harvard Ave is gonna be 🔥 Based on the forms, it looks like the distance to cross Olive will be reduced by approx 8 feet

nice new streetscape and landscaping at the Gridline apartments on Harvard

✈️ I arrived in Seattle this afternoon- sunny and bright with early signs of autumn 🍂 Took Link from airport to hotel, checked in, and now taking Rapid Ride G which is full of passengers 🚌 basically all is right in the world for a moment 🤷

so happy to see this project underway
