The Katy freeway in Texas is the logical conclusion of the status quo approach to transportation in America. The state will be adding even more lanes this summer to “improve mobility and safety in the area.” Clearly past attempts have been successful.😔 😕

BEFORE 3PM TODAY, sign PRO for repealing harmful jaywalking laws! Repeal the state law that makes it illegal to cross mid-block and creates provisions that give pedestrians the right to cross where and when it’s convenient and safe, with due care. tinyurl.com/2pjhe7lr

Grand opening of Kirkland, Washington’s new bike and ped bridge connecting Totem Lake and downtown Kirkland and points beyond. 👏 Props to Claudia Balducci and Eastrail Partners for helping connect the region with safe and sustainable infrastructure. Great to see so many people valeting with us!

🚴🚶‍♀️The Totem Lake Bridge for the Cross Kirkland Corridor opened, which is an occasion for me to sketch an idea brewing in my mind for a while now. 🍻 🗺️ Presenting a map of breweries and taprooms serving local craft beer along the regional trails around Lake Washington.
