Mamdani seems like a prog willing to ruffle feathers to pass good government reforms.

Dean Preston was a prog who was unwilling to do this

Like 90% of local elected Dems are mod Dems unwilling to ruffle feathers.

It boggles my mind that many cities don’t do it!

I know that many other cities don’t plow their sidewalks, leaving it up to property owners. This is completely crazy to me.

Our sidewalk plows look like this and they do a pretty good job.

Harrell's office bristled at the suggestion that the flurry of proclamations, orders, and celebrations had anything to do with the election (which he lost to Katie Wilson), and the city's ethics office didn't seem to care, but the fact that he was using his office to campaign is pretty clear.

Why not all the time? If the market isn't busy what's the harm in keeping the street pleasant for the people who are there?

Drivers “need” an extra lane or they will have to queue too long. Pedestrians “want” wider sidewalks so they can bring their six-year-old to the bus stop without having to sit a foot and a half away from speeding cars. It’s in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs actually.

Are they at least going to build a streetcar to "replace" it that Seattle will have to start paying for after a few years?

Imagine restructuring the Burke-Gilman, Ship Canal, and Cheshiahud Loop trails around first class access across the Fremont Bridge (instead of the current bullshit), and opening true pedestrianization opportunities on the N and S side of the bridge with great interconnected walkability.
