We’re out here reminding folks to vote yes on Prop 1 to #KeepSeattleMoving! Sprinting through the finish line and taking nothing for granted . With @cecelia_black @RoosieStation @corycrocker

#SeattleProp1 might not be on top of the ballot, but its impact could be massive for Seattle’s streets and mobility. @komonews’ Joel Marino reports on the $1.5 billion investment to improve roads, bridges, sidewalks, and transit options across the city. https://t.co/8FRapw8YwD

Every year council quietly cuts a million or 2 from the ADA program. They cite that Seattle is ahead of its curbcut goals, but let me remind you those goals are the absolute minimum required under a consent decree. Meanwhile the majority of crossings do not have aps

Lucas is a high school student who is often forced into the road on his way to school due to broken sidewalks. Every kid deserves to walk to school safely. Prop 1 will fund over 70 safe routes to school projects to make Seattle safer for Lucas and students across the city.

We can't solve homelessness when so many people are on the verge of losing their homes. The mayor is proposing to cut the very little money going to tenant services by over 50%. This will effectively end the majority of programs working to connect renters to resources & support

[Be:Seattle @BeSeattleOrg]

Please come speak in public comment, Wednesday night at 5pm about how important funding tenant services is to you and your community!

$1.55 billion Move Seattle Levy is up for vote in fall. Critics call it too costly, while supporters argue it’s vital for maintaining roads, bridges & transit. @transpochoices @khoven & @WAPolicyCente's Charles Prestrud share views with @callananseattle: https://t.co/17IhYjL6uF

Words can't describe how powerful it is to work with so many disabled leaders during #WeekWithoutDriving when you are so accustomed to being the only disabled person in the room. Getting to end Day 5 by stumbling into "Please Touch" was so magical I could cry

[Seattle Department of Transportation @seattledot]

Please touch the artwork.

TODAY: @SeattleArts presents "Please Touch: Together, Breaking Barriers" to raise awareness about accessibility for blind and low-vision people in the arts.

Recap of our #WeekWithoutDriving Seattle elevator audit & I'm blown away that there are real options baked into our municipal codes to navigate Seattle’s hills other than recruiting strangers! Thank you @thewyjr18 @Spottnik @VisitSeattle @KingCountyMetro @seattledot for joining!

Some more pics from today’s walk/roll/public elevator audit downtown!

On Monday, Abby Griffith & i tried to get from Vancouver's train station to city hall for @VancouverUS #weekwithoutdriving proclamation. With no buses, no sidewalks and an irregular "on demand" service, it underscored the importance of #weekwithoutdriving
