Ped _survival_ is too low a bar. Prioritize prevention.

@Boenau Start with a sound policy foundation: There is no reasonable explanation for allowing (non-emergency response) vehicles to substantially exceed the speed limit. THEN add speed tech like auto-braking and retrofit of the built environment.

@AnnaZivarts I just copy addresses and paste them into Google Maps. Apple Maps is garbage but someone there is all:

@GovInslee @SenMarkoLiias @nwtreatytribes Could WA pay for local agency culvert replacement projects if doing so is cheaper AND yields a larger habitat benefit than the last % @wsdot is responsible for? Might only be a few, but saving more $$ & salmon.🤔 https://t.co/DXoExftAaU

[Larry_Leveen @Larry_Leveen]

@GovInslee @SenMarkoLiias Since culvert replacement is so important/expensive, might there be instances where WA could pay for local agency culvert replacement if cheaper AND providing a larger habitat benefit than the last % @wsdot is responsible for? 🤔 https://t.co/DXoExftAaU

I'm proud to support Ryan Mello for Pierce County Executive! He's been a crucial supporter of mobility safety and access for all, including active mode users. https://t.co/cvXJdk1LWS

@AmericanFietser Hey, I’ll take minor deviation for the benefit of a tree but the “cutesification” of sidewalks via swoopy, indirect travel annoys the crap out of me. It’s patronizing AF.

[Larry_Leveen @Larry_Leveen]

@dinahaddie Must… not… reply…. 😉

[Larry_Leveen @Larry_Leveen]

What criteria were used in including these areas in the poll? Not saying they are unworthy, but such context is helpful when asking people to vote for how public dollars are spent. Traffic safety should be data-driven, not a popularity contest. Thx. #VisionZero @PierceCo

It’s time to #vote on where you want to see #YourWSP working this Friday! Troopers in #PierceCounty will be performing an evening emphasis patrol on August 4th, focusing on collision causing behaviors. Cast your vote and let us know where you think our efforts are most needed!

@Wizards_DnD @wizards_magic Is there a special GenCone? 🍦🧙🏼‍♂️

I mean, it was RIGHT THERE....

[Larry_Leveen @Larry_Leveen]

Why is WA's Employment Security tax reporting/payment website so perennially screwed up? Online bill payment is not rocket science at this point. Stop making it hard on employers who just want to pay taxes — JEEZ!

@WAStateGov PLEASE help fix this!

[Larry_Leveen @Larry_Leveen]

@AoDiscovery please do better than omitting People of Color and Native Americans from your imagery. I'm sure you don't want to perpetuate the racist erasure of Native tribes, and your customers don't want to be associated with that either.

@sherlock_hulmes I just want to thank you for being an awe-inspiring world builder. It was a pleasure to watch the @HighRollersDnD Aerois story unfold these past few years. Hollywood should positively break down your doors to license it for a most epic & engaging film series.

[Larry_Leveen @Larry_Leveen]

@AmericanFietser @erik_griswold I hate the “cutesification” of active mode facilities. It’s insulting.

[Larry_Leveen @Larry_Leveen]

Hey @MyTPU, can you please join/use Tacoma 311 so people can easily report (potential) problems?

Hey @CityofTacoma, we can provide better service than this reply. If 311 knows the number and has the deets, just call TPU with them instead of throwing that task at a citizen.

[Larry_Leveen @Larry_Leveen]

@NHTSAgov says crashes cost $150B annually. @americawalks Safer Fleets Challenge webinar said speed-limiting technology is $1,250/vehicle. That's $352B to outfit all registered vehicles in the US. Let's save lives and literally BILLIONS of dollars. @SecretaryPete #VisionZero

[Larry_Leveen @Larry_Leveen]

@GeorgeTakei But they’ve got a hardon for NRA $. 😒

@frontandcenterd What other groups besides F&C are helping to watchdog implementation of the HEAL Act in WA?
