@TommyJJunior @seattledot @typewriteralley @KingCountyMetro The picture is from an entirely different spot on Dexter. I suspect they used it to convey what it will look like when it is done.

Really incredible that historic wallingford really said “yeah, wallingford was an exclusionary neighborhood and those racist policies still impact the community today and we’re celebrating that by making it a historic district.”

@SD70MACMAN @GordonOfSeattle I was just thinking about how if you had enough people crossing at the right interval, you could completely stop traffic.

To do so without getting arrested probably requires some kind of permit though...

@ericacbarnett It's not like many drivers stop at marked crosswalk either, but some marking, in my experience, improves the likelihood that someone stops!

@jmeowmeow @khuey_ I haven't done the loud bit yet, but I have gotten progressively more visible.

@khuey_ This is true in Seattle too!

New paper from @VolpeUSDOT examines pedestrian deaths and urban arterial design across rich nations. https://t.co/IMUFSRE9LI

Only one country studied saw an increase in ped deaths from 2000-19. Guess which one?

@typewriteralley I noticed this around Wallingford and 45th too :(

In my view, either of those is a fatal flaw in an eng manager. Or any sort of manager. The manager's job is to create a safe context for workers to get things done for the people the company serves. That means buffering them from upper-management insanity as much as possible.
