Remember to #Vote! You should have your ballots by now! We have adopted a position of Yes on Prop 1 which will help fund the rest of the Beacon Hill Safety & Bike project! Let's serve all of Beacon Hill! #seattle #bike #walk #transit

Don't have your ballot yet (or something happened to it)? You can print a new one and new envelope online or contact the county to get another one! There's also still time to register and vote if you haven't yet.

Well I guess not all because the next one didn't have them, maybe soon. 😕

Free face masks are seemingly back in stock (or at least some of them) on King County Metro buses! They tend to stock these during the fall and winter months now. #transit #health #safety 🚎😷🍂❄️

@GordonWerner @SoundTransit It was literally installed like that :+/

Thanks to everyone that cleared the overgrowth from this sidewalk used by a John Muir walking school bus this morning!

Great to see that Milk Drunk has made their street seating permanent! 🍦🪑😋🌳 #Cafestreets

@crzyazn4ever @Spacecage1 Young kids and people with disabilities frequently do use or ride on bicycles, with that said, not every mode is for everything all the time. Many of our members change modes as needed, such as when helping a relative. The changes to 15th are making them safer for everyone.

Construction on the Beacon Hill Safety Project on 15th Ave seems to be starting as soon as July 22nd! 🎉🎉🎉

[Beacon Hill Safe Streets @BHSafeStreets]

@crzyazn4ever @Spacecage1 People bike to get where they need to go as well, like work, stores, entertainment, etc. most riders you are M-F are biking with a non recreational purpose. Recreation, and getting to it, should also be safe though.

[Beacon Hill Safe Streets @BHSafeStreets]

@crzyazn4ever SDOT did give a reason, primarily a single bike lane on 15th with protection would necessitate the need to remove parking anyway to keep a NB & SB General lane, so your suggestion would reduce parking *further* then just removing it from the one street.

[Beacon Hill Safe Streets @BHSafeStreets]

@crzyazn4ever This just sounds like made up numbers or some kind of error in the data collection, disabled people can also use cycles as well. There will be some change to people's patterns but most homes also have onsite parking. I do wonder if more loading zones could also help.

[Beacon Hill Safe Streets @BHSafeStreets]

@crzyazn4ever Given the number of homes on the block, it's most certainly not "99%" but regardless and going to and from parks/trails should be safe as well as traversing the neighborhood. Also people don't cross a river where there is no bridge.

It's raining so it's a bus day today for me! 🚎

@CascadianKovnik Take a look at the set of photos, getting to the MTS is part of the blockage 🫠

[Beacon Hill Safe Streets @BHSafeStreets]

That commute up the Joze Rizal and down 15th was an absolute obstacle course tonight and construction has barely begun like wtf 🫠 #seattle #seabikes

[Beacon Hill Safe Streets @BHSafeStreets]

Like, this is a lot of signs on bike lanes including one ironically saying "BIKE LANE CLOSED AHEAD" that is... blocking the bike lane @seattledot

I think we can do better. #seattle #seabikes

Thanks to advocacy there was a $170 million increase in the Seattle Transportation Levy to support requests made by the community.
