My greener side. Walking. Busing. Biking. Urban. Green. By @rrelyea

[Rob Relyea (@6reenRR) @6reenRR]

New bike barriers on 108th approaching main st from the south. Big improvement over green paint!
Thanks @BvueTrans - #bikebellevue

[Downtown for People @DT4People]

We’re here with friends, neighbors, and advocates to tour the possible sites for a new I-405 interchange in downtown Bellevue. Follow along with us as we talk about why No New Interchange is the only option that makes sense for our city.

*psssssst* Hey Bellevue!

Yeah, you!

Turns out it's politically popular to provide liveable, walkable, bikable places and to base one's policy around those ideas.

Just throwing that out there for no reason, not like I wrote something recently advocating for that or anything.

[Rob Relyea (@6reenRR) @6reenRR]

@BvueTrans Will do.

"Communities should be thinking about installing doors that don’t require grasping a handle, and re-engineering traffic signals so pedestrians don’t have to push crosswalk buttons, said Eleanor J. Murray, an epidemiologist at Boston University."

Walking around downtown Bellevue for exercise or essential errands could be much better. Should we really have to press the walk button and endanger ourselves with potential virus contact? Would prefer to not have to. Anyway to make the walk signs on by default @BvueTrans ?

Dividing up large houses into apartments - how easy is it? Building new stuff is $$$. Sealing up some walls and adding a couple kitchens and bathrooms is cheaper. Let's look at some floor plans in this thread. 1/

Urbanist in me is excited to see continued growth in downtown Bellevue, including 15k Amazon employees over next few years.

[Michelle Baruchman @mlbaruchman]

Amazon is expecting at least 15,000 employees in Bellevue in the next few years, @bromano reports.

Bellevue officials told me + @MikeLindblom in the fall that 18,000 employees were expected downtown by 2025.
That # likely to grow.

Good podcast about buses and how to make them better

I just watched a pedestrian at an intersection with beg buttons. She got her crossing, then casually pushed the beg button on the other side of the road and continued down the sidewalk.

I'm amazed I never thought of doing that.

Downtown Bellevue underwent alot of change between 2010-18, including a big increase in Green commuters.

(like me, but I didn't move near there until 2019)

[Rob Relyea @rrelyea]

yesterday some personal changes:
* converted all remaining light bulbs at my house to LED
* I became a vegan, following in sons footsteps

I pledge to continue to change my personal impact and advocate for societal change.

[Rob Relyea (@6reenRR) @6reenRR]

Spending part of my day converting our house to LED bulbs everywhere. 2 trips to store so far today. Will probably have some left over for next time.

I am following up internally to inquire what this means for Microsoft support to reduce its workforce commuting carbon impact? We generally do good things there...but I would like to see the numbers tracked similar to this sustainability effort discussed today.

[Rob Relyea @rrelyea]

Excited to hear an update from Microsoft about our commitment to sustainability. Event is in 20 min from now, Thursday at 9am pacific (likely watchable afterwards as well?)
Just noticed the invite to attend in person, but can’t.

Every year, I add two new low-carbon habits to my life. And every year, I keep on doing the three MOST IMPT things any individual can do: talk about it, join an organization that amplifies my voice, and advocate for change with leadership at all levels which includes VOTING.
