We organize and mobilize people to make every neighborhood a great place to walk, bike, and live.
- Great news! @seattledot just announced the new downtown waterfront trail will now be 12' wide (not 10') and have real protection (not just floppy plastic posts)! Please take a moment and tell the city thank you for proposing a safe design: secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/…
- Seattle's first ever people protected bike lane was a huge success! Thank you volunteers and supporters! Together we demonstrated the joy and safety that protected bike lanes can bring to our streets. It's time to build the #BasicBikeNetwork. #BuiltItNow #BikeEverywhereDay
00:00 - Bus lanes are red, Bike lanes are green, You make our streets, A little less mean.
- Want a better downtown waterfront? Ask the Port Of Seattle to support a seamless and safe waterfront trail. Learn more and take action today: secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/… #UnGapTheMap
- “I've never seen such a large amount of space completely closed down for the purpose of keeping people safe; dedicated space for walkers & cyclists, and health. I have never felt more safe riding a bicycle." — Ricky Reyes, riding on the temporary Lake Wash Blvd #KeepMovingStreet
- "NIMBYs are not necessarily the problem ...The problem is politicians and other decision-makers who know better, who don’t do the right thing because of NIMBY fear." @BrentToderian, interviewed by @drvox for @voxdotcom
- 200+ people have been killed on Seattle streets since 2015 due to car collisions. We mapped the locations this year for #WDoR2023. See a pattern? #WDR2023SEA #VisionZero
- You own a car, not the street. The street belongs to all of us.
- Today is highway expansion appreciation day! Which unbuilt highway from this 1957 plan do you wish we would demolish homes and businesses to build and why?
- Traffic report! Bumper to bumper bike traffic on the West Seattle low bridge today 😉. Despite the traffic you're still on the fastest route to/from West Seattle.
- Our hearts break for this 80 year old woman who died just trying to cross the street. Everyone should be able to grow old in their community, and stay active getting around to the people and places they love. We need safe streets for our elders. #VisionZero
Family of woman killed by E Madison hit and run driver asks for public’s help in investigation capitolhillseattle.com/2023/02/family… - A new rigorous @Portland_State study found that bike lanes are good for businesses, especially restaurants. In Seattle, they found employment went up along the 2nd Ave and Broadway protected bike lanes compared to control streets. news.yahoo.com/bike-lanes-ben… #BikesMeanBusiness
- Have you seen these orange silhouettes posted around Seattle? They mark locations where people were killed by car crashes. We've distributed over 200 signs around the city to remember those lives lost in conjunction with #WorldDayOfRememberance this Sunday.
