Yeah, absolutely, 65th W needs a redesign and a bus badly

Harper @harlander.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah I can see where youre coming from. It may only be 2 lanes but those lanes are pretty wide leading to drivers going fast. Im split on if theres more benefit to extending the definition to streets that narrow than any harm from diluting the definition
Ideally that would broadly be called a stroad

Tesla's board chair confirmed that the automaker may give the Cybercab a steering wheel after all. It may need to to sell the purpose-built robotaxi in the kind of volumes it hopes to.

The best explanation I can come up with is that Platner is almost disqualifyinyly stupid

I believe the story about how they got it (tattoo shops in croatia be like that) but how tf do you not remove it in the succeeding FIFTEEN YEARS

All ive learned from this is Wilson has the same middle name as my mother so I like her more

Thank you Jonathan

To be charitable, it's possible that Jonathan Choe literally does not know about candidate disclosure forms. But most likely, he's lying his dumb ass off like he always does. (Also, how does ME paying someone else bias me TOWARD them?)

Twitter post by right-wing Trump bootlicker Jonathan Choe (who works for Turning Point USA): ANOTHER OCTOBER SURPRISE: If far-left Seattle mayoral candidate Katie Wilson wins,
@TheStranger
,
@PubliColaNews
, and The Urbanist could have unprecedented access to City Hall.
That’s because she was once on their payrolls. Of course none of this was publicly disclosed by the
@wilsonformayor
campaign.
Could reporters at these leftist blogs really be unbiased while covering their pal “Mayor Wilson?”
So many potential conflicts of interest here.
Huge find by

e.g. if you're a young dude immersed in certain social circles there is a decided sense that Trump is the cool candidate and cool guys support Trump, and only weird woke libs would vote for Harris or Democratic. especially if you're less attentive to politics this social dynamic is determinative

Rob Saka wants to take money *directly* from transit service funding to pay for a new "Chief Transit Security and Safety Officer" at the City of Seattle.

That's despite the fact that King County is directly in charge of many of the things this new position would be trying to direct.

ICYMI: Katie Wilson responds to Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell's latest attack. Harrell, whose net worth is over $15 million and whose résumé shows he hasn't had to apply for a job since 1990, accused Wilson of being rich because her parents have helped her pay for child care in unaffordable Seattle.

If you were thinking of calling in or going to city hall tomorrow morning to give public comment to the budget committee the first time these are discussed...no you won't, because yet again they are not taking public comment directly from the public at this kind of meeting.

So prepare your emails.

Oh god, Lynnwood station is, imo, the worst designed station in the system. The fact that the bus bays werent put into the station base or bottom level of the garage is psychotic. You could have so much more housing in the prime catchment area its crazy

These mistakes were not impossible but they were so unlikely, it should have been taken with a much larger grain of salt. A lot of people assume ST will make every mistake possible for reactionary reasons. It is important to check these before believing them

of countless engineers at ST and WSDOT not just before the conversion but also back when the bridge was built since it was built with future rail in mind. While not impossible, the idea that nobody would have considered lake levels is exceedingly unlikely
