Transportation is a housing problem. Housing is a transportation problem.

To be clear, no sarcasm: it's a good writeup, very informative and objective, with amazing photos. And it lays out Bellevue like a spatchcocked chicken.

Nice writeup on Line 2, @MikeLindblom! It's like getting punched with a velvet-gloved fist.

@UPS: We changed your delivery date.
Me: Sorry, I won't be home on the new date.
UPS: No worries, you can just pay us $9.99 to go back to the original delivery date! Or $19.99/year for unlimited extortion!

Congratulations to Bellevue: a city in a parking lot.

[apardoe 🐀 @apardoe]

@yourfriendlara Congratulations! This is in West Seattle, I assume?

[apardoe 🐀 @apardoe]

@BvueTrans I can attest.

@FloatingToHome @MikeLindblom @TransLink There is a lot more to the "transit focused/mixed use neighborhood" than just the train, yes. But Sound Transit is funding ~1% of this. I assume it's the "transit focused" part, because this neighborhood is dominated by the train.

You have a mission, but no point.

[apardoe 🐀 @apardoe]

@FloatingToHome @MikeLindblom To be clear, this is Page 7. Yes, it's about the 116th to 124th sections. Both of these sections sit on, above, and around Sound Transit infrastructure. Why do you believe 1% of funding is a misuse of transit dollars? You need more than a brochure to support this accusation.

[apardoe 🐀 @apardoe]

@FloatingToHome @MikeLindblom Page 7 is about building NE Spring Boulvard, a street that has a Sound Transit train running down the middle. It's a $99.6mm project, Sound Transit is supplying $1.09mm. And you're assuming that this 1% isn't being directly spent on transit infrastructure?

@yourfriendlara @bellevuewa That's not how Bellevue defines "diversity".

Good story on NPR about narrow lanes being safer. A past president of @ITEhq disagrees, saying drivers have "so much to think about" when they're going 35 MPH. And what are they thinking about? Their iPhones?

Force drivers to pay attention to driving!

Is anyone here? Does anyone still use this app?

Hey @BvueTrans, Kirkland’s good work is just going to increase the noise pollution and dangerous driving in Bellevue. Please be proactive and do the same.

[City of Bellevue Transportation Department @BvueTrans]

We’ve been working on a new project called Bike Bellevue. It aims to implement bicycle network improvements in the city's urban core & we want to know what you think of the proposed bike lane designs! The online engagement tool is live until Nov. 17 at https://t.co/OeTJuDVPNY

@MikeLindblom In less than four years Mohamed Yusuf will be back on the streets of Seattle, wielding the same weapon he used in his last crime.

@yourfriendlara I directed it at Franz, but I was a bit too harsh. I’m sure you’ll be more constructive!

Also, Janice is the liaison.
