The MASS coalition, an alliance of 13 organizations working toward a safer, more accessible, and climate-aligned transportation system in Seattle, has released a letter to Mayor Wilson urging her to advance these progressive priorities. Read the full letter at: www.masscoalition.org ♿️🚶🚊🚎🛗🚲🛴🌎

Ballard’s new crosswalk and modal filter at 15th and 53rd is already making biking safer for people of all ages.

"We need to [be]...transitioning away from a car-centric transportation system and toward more dense, walkable, affordable neighborhoods. Not only are vehicles one of the major contributors to our climate crisis, they're also dangerous & are killing our neighbors" @cmeddielin.bsky.social 🎯 as always

GET INVOLVED: young people ages 14 to 22 are invited to join us on April 25 for this year's Youth Transportation Summit, focused on transportation safety. Register now: https://www.seattle.gov/transportation/projects-and-programs/programs/transportation-access-programs/youth-transportation-summit

While 60% of the Seattle Transit Measure funds more daily transit service, it also invests in building better access to transit. Here's an example: new bus stop improvements, built in-house by SDOT crews, serving Route 65 in Lake City and Routes 124 and 125 in Delridge.

“Engineers, pilots, air traffic controllers, and ground crews made aviation extraordinarily safe not by polling passengers, but by treating safety as a non-negotiable foundation, and then inviting the public to make choices within that foundation.”

I remember when biking with a kid in downtown Seattle would have been seen as a risky political statement. And now it’s just a convenient way for parents to take their kids home! And that’s a beautiful thing

Affordable cities make car use optional for daily life. 🚴🏿‍♂️🚌🚶🏼‍♀️

At the City Council Transportation Committee this morning asking whether Low-Pollution Neighborhoods will actually meet the targets of SDOT’s Climate Change Response framework or if this will continue to be a feel-good grab bag with no accountability to actually reducing emissions.

At 5th Ave and Marion St downtown, a new bike parking rack and daylighting increases visibility at the intersection and slows down turning speeds. This location was chosen in response to data showing a history of crashes this intersection.

On Rainier Ave S, three median islands at S Thistle St, S Kenyon St, and S Spencer St lower traffic speeds, add greenery, prevent illegal turns, and make traffic at nearby intersections more predictable for people crossing the street.

Friday: MOHAI is screening the excellent From Rails to Trails documentary #SEAbikes #Seattle

When you learn how cheap and easy it is to create safer neighborhoods, all the time and effort we spend doing nothing feels like a waste.

1/ Big milestone this week: Seattle Neighborhood Greenways is now @streetsalliance.bsky.social. I joined the organization in 2023 and one of the big projects waiting for me was helping guide this rebrand.

Central Seattle Greenways is excited to announce our new name: 🎉 Central Seattle Streets for All What's not changing: ❤️ Our belief that all people should be able to get around safely without a car. Our passion for making Seattle a better place. Our partnership with @streetsalliance.bsky.social.

The Seattle @streetsalliance.bsky.social is one of the most significant safe streets organizations to form in recent memory anywhere in the nation. Their bottom-up leadership model is powerful and could be adapted in many other places. It's empowering for volunteers and fun to start a local group.

Seattle Neighborhood Greenways is now Seattle Streets Alliance! After 15 years of organizing for safer streets, our work has grown far beyond neighborhood greenways. Our new name reflects a broader mission: making every Seattle street safer and more welcoming for people who walk, bike, and roll.

After 13 years of working for @sngreenways.bsky.social, I'm now working for @streetsalliance.bsky.social! Wait, what? Read more on @theurbanist.org

It’s official! We have changed our name to Rainier Valley Safe Streets as part of the rebranding of now Seattle Streets Alliance @sngreenways.bsky.social This helps with past confusion (we don’t manage the city’s greenways program) With a new name, our advocacy for safer streets for all continues

Join Central Seattle Greenways for their monthly Happy Hour today at 6pm! Come connect, get involved, and rant/rave about transportation in Central Seattle. 📍 Chuck’s Hop Shop - Central District (Union) Look for the bike helmets and transit nerds — patio if the weather’s nice!

Rainier Ave has some of Seattle’s highest crash and speeding rates and local youth are organizing about it. The Rainier Youth Committee is hosting a “Shaping Our Streets” listening session this Saturday on transit reliability and pedestrian safety. Love seeing young people lead on safer streets.

It was 34 degrees and sleeting but 16 people turned out to discuss making safe and accessible streets in Green Lake and Wallingford! Excited to see what they do next. If you missed it, their next meeting is March 24th, Jellyfish Brewing in Green Lake at 6pm. Or go to seattlegreenways.org/volunteer

I’m going to be there! See you tonight?

Today is the cutoff for this bill to advance this year. Please ask your state reps to pass HB2095 (you can use the link below) if you haven't already! Thank you

Take action now! Tell your state representatives you want them to pass HB2095 to strengthen accountability for drivers who hit people walking or biking: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2095 A vote is expected soon, and your voice makes a difference. cc: @wabike.bsky.social @cascade.org

Green Lake & Wallingford neighbors: join Green Lake Wallingford Safe Streets for their first meeting in a while. Tue, Feb 17 | 6–7 PM Jellyfish Brewing, Green Lake Meet neighbors. Talk local street projects. Build community for safer streets. Bring a friend! #SafeStreets #GreenLake #Wallingford

Seattle: this is your victory. Thank you to everyone who made today a safe and unforgettable part of your city's history.

Walking, biking, and transit got a million people downtown yesterday but let’s fill the streets with cars again and pretend it never happened.

"The Study's recommended configuration: One bus lane and one vehicle lane in each direction, plus dedicated space for people walking, rolling and biking. This balances multiple needs while prioritizing what works best for the most people." ‼️Honestly, a sea change for WSDOT. Kudos to Anna and others

"Few opportunities in the levy are greater than on Rainier Ave, where repaving, safety work, and transit upgrades...all converge, especially around Judkins Park Station...the road remains incredibly dangerous...even as it welcomes thousands of additional neighbors via significant housing growth." 💯

The safety, accessibility, and mobility improvements @seattledot.bsky.social is building to connect to @sound-transit.bsky.social's Pinehurst station are really exciting! Can't wait to celebrate this opening 🚈 🚶🏻🚴🏽‍♀️🚌👨🏻‍🦽! www.seattle.gov/transportati...

Bike and scooter traffic in the uphill Pike St protected bike lane in February!

Join the First Hill Improvement Association on Thursday Feb 12th at City Burger at 6 PM to talk all things 🚶🏼‍♂️🚴🏾‍♀️🚌!

Our crew-built work is one big way that we’re delivering the Seattle Transportation Levy. By using in-house construction crews, we complete improvements that you’ve requested with lower costs and faster timelines. Here are 9 recently completed projects from our inspector’s camera roll:

NW Greenways’ February meeting is tomorrow. Join to connect with neighbors, hear updates, and shape safer streets in NW Seattle. New folks always welcome!

SDOT greenlit a similar project in West Seattle on Friday: SW Lander Street, west of California Avenue.

Yay, glad to see this finally announced publicly! The Burke Gilman is our state’s most popular trail and it should be comfortable, safe, and accessible for all. If it were a highway we would already have widened it. The design next to UW Medical should be the standard (with the addition of lighting)

Last month, Rita Hulsman was honored as a Seattle Kraken Hero of the Deep for her advocacy for safer streets. Through her leadership and the One Roof Foundation, SNG received a $32K Kraken Unity Fund gift to support safer walking, biking, and rolling in Seattle. 💙

@seattledot.bsky.social it’s great to see the traffic calming at E Pike & Harvard come to life! Thank you! 🙏

HOME ZONE: we updated N Greenwood Ave and N 95th St to make it easier to cross the street and prevent cut-through traffic. This project was funded by the Seattle Transportation Levy, built by SDOT crews, and based on crash data and resident input from the Aurora-Licton Urban Village Home Zone.

December Pedestrianized Pike Place Pilot numbers are in, and drum roll please… 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁 🥁 Sales are up again! (7.1%). Sales at the market have beat expectations every month of the pilot so far. Take a moment of zen and join me this video stroll down the festive street last month.

Everyone: how cool! Me: Cool! And also we need to extend the 2nd Ave S bike lanes to the stadiums starting at S Washington St so that everyone can bike and scoot there safely, and pedestrians can rule on Occidental Ave.

Hang w/Central Seattle Greenways this evening at Chuck’s Hop Shop on Union! Join their monthly happy hour to learn what CSG is up to, get involved, meet fellow neighbors, and rant/rave about transportation in Central Seattle. ⏰ 6 - 8 PM 🚲 Look for bike helmets & transit nerds New folks welcome!
