.@British_Airways is such shite airline. There was no one to push my wheelchair in seattle. And a flight attendant on my return trip just told an elderly passenger he wouldn’t help her stow her carry on luggage. That’s all.

Can @wsdot contract with @GoBrightline for Cascades service instead of @Amtrak? Asking for a friend…

[Lee Pyne-Mercier @leepyne]

Thanks @GoBrightline for an amazing experience getting around south Florida without the hassle of driving. And thank you @JHopLovesTrains too!

@KccClaudia a flat rate removes ST’s ability to manage demand on overcrowded segments with dynamic pricing, which will be important as the system expands.

@UrbanistOrg @typewriteralley Are there plans for secure bike parking at Coleman dock? The information online and in person is inconsistent.

@SenMarkoLiias And I think saunas just make you happy. We need more saunas. Can we write this into building codes? 😄

[Lee Pyne-Mercier @leepyne]

@SenMarkoLiias Helsinkis commitment to combined public restrooms and karaoke bars could solve our bathroom crisis.

[Lee Pyne-Mercier @leepyne]

@SenMarkoLiias There’s some great low cost traffic calming in Helsinki that we could probably afford.

[Lee Pyne-Mercier @leepyne]

@SenMarkoLiias They’ve committed to enforcing traffic laws in Finland, including speed cameras. Fines can be hefty - particularly if you’re rich.

[Lee Pyne-Mercier @leepyne]

@SenMarkoLiias There are some good and some not so great bike lanes.

[Lee Pyne-Mercier @leepyne]

@SenMarkoLiias While there are probably better destinations, there are things to see in Helsinki. Here are some things that stood out to me.

There are a few cars on the road because public transit is convenient, clean, and efficient. Also housing is dense and accessible.

[Lee Pyne-Mercier @leepyne]

@Compelling_Work Can you confirm the registration link - I can't make the link in your image work. Thanks!

More than 2700 cases of syphilis in newborns. Absolute shameful state of sexual and reproductive health in America today. Let the Republicans put their money where there mouth is and fund maternal health for healthy babies.

[Lee Pyne-Mercier @leepyne]

@DrCharity3 Congratulations! Well deserved.

I hate the "America is divided" framing. Show polls because American's overwhelmingly support many policies (stricter gun laws for example. Abortion rights in another.) This framing is lame and unhelpful for an audience.

Seattle - can we find a better way to deal with our garbage? New townhomes without parking lack any storage for garbage which sit on the street all week, degrading the environment for everyone. Car light neighborhoods don't have to be dominated by garbage cans.

[Lee Pyne-Mercier @leepyne]

@WalkerSeattle Same problem here. I live on Queen Anne and I must learn how to do this myself…
