For 3.25 years this has been my vantage point every Monday afternoon. As I get ready for one last meeting I’m reminded of how awe inspiring and life changing this job has been. While I’m excited for what comes next it’s truly been an honor to represent D4 and Seattle.

Today’s the first day that you can use your ORCA card on the monorail. So far higher than normal ridership and lots of people using their ORCA cards. Congrats @SeattleMonorail⁩ for a successful rollout!

10 years ago was a pretty great day for us ⁦@TranspoChoices⁩. Happy 10th birthday ⁦@SoundTransit⁩ Link!

[Rob Johnson @heyrobbyj]

Proud to be represented by you Abel. Keep it up!

My thoughts go out to the cyclist who was struck by a car on 35th Avenue NE on Thursday night. This incident is a painful reminder of why we need to recommit to building a well-connected network of safe bike infrastructure across the city.

@jfeit @patienc40394378 Thanks you guys. I’ll always be proud of our #hala work.

For the record the job broke me twice, and I received probably 1/20 of the vitriol and negativity @D5Juarez or @CMLGonzalez received and the job has never broken them. We need a return to civility, but while we await that I’m proud to have worked alongside such resiliant people.

@Andres4Seattle @BicycleLobby @SeattleCouncil That is a GREAT TShirt.

Great news in these early returns SPS! These two measures will be so important for all our students success. Thanks to all who supported, donated time and money, and voted yes! https://t.co/U2BkoGKWnE

In the midst of the snowstorm please don’t forget about tomorrow’s SPS election!#Yeson1and2

@typewriteralley @RavennaBlog @bonnybecker33 @OraleaW @ravennabryant Last I spoke with Law they believed that when we win, we’d take possession of that sliver of property with the intention of converting it to a park in the future. Though I know there’s tons of interest in housing there, I believe our legal argument was based on it becoming a park

[Rob Johnson @heyrobbyj]

@F_WRLCK @mshannabrooks @seattledot @dongho_chang Too True! Though I haven’t been successful at getting some of our low cost sidewalk options adopted by @seattledot we have made progress on crosswalks and sidewalks by D4 schools and @dongho_chang has a great team that can quickly evaluate your request @mshannabrooks

@sharethecities @patienc40394378 @HDC_SeaKC @SierraClubSEA @tech4housing Overwhelming ruling in our favor. Bit more work to do, but it's within clear boundaries since we know what historic preservation work looks like. Need to check in with city attorneys on Monday to confirm the scope and schedule of additional work, but hoping for an addendum.

[Rob Johnson @heyrobbyj]

@patienc40394378 @sharethecities @HDC_SeaKC @SierraClubSEA @tech4housing If this goes up at 4:59 and I’ve been refreshing for 59 mins.

[Rob Johnson @heyrobbyj]

@sharethecities @Nullthread @patienc40394378 @HDC_SeaKC @SierraClubSEA @tech4housing We’ve started this, both @SoundRegion and at my PLUZ committee meetings. @CMTMosqueda and I worked on this during budget too. Lots of work to do between now and 2023 when we have the next major comp plan update but we can do it.

[Patience Malaba @patience_malaba]

The Hearing Examiner’s office says the MHA Appeal ruling will be out at 4pm or after. Hugs to all anxiously waiting!Its going to be alright. @HDC_SeaKC @sharethecities @heyrobbyj @SierraClubSEA @tech4housing

[Rob Johnson @heyrobbyj]

It’s official! There’s a lot more work to do but I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished in just three years. ST3, housing and families and ed levies, MHA and short term rental taxes for affordable housing, #fix65th, Seattle Arena and more. https://t.co/Pm0Cu19QMI

[Rob Johnson @heyrobbyj]

@zachlubarsky That project just wrote a $3.8M MHA check that we’ll roll into the office of housings December awards. They had a fully vested 6 story non MHA project they threw out to build this project instead. More units, more MHA $$, right next to light rail. This is a win-win-win.

[Rob Johnson @heyrobbyj]

No plans this afternoon? Come help us canvass for more funding for our kids! Hope to see you at 1:00!

[Rob Johnson @heyrobbyj]

Saturday! Come canvass with me and @CMLGonzalez to support the city’s education levy. Join us at 1:00 at the Ravenna Community Center for 2 hours of knocking on doors. After the @SeaTimesOpinion endorsement let’s keep the positive momentum going! cc @SCPTSA
