Browse Seattle Twitter long enough and you'll see that the city's transportation system is awash with controversy. There's one bright spot in all of it: SDOT's redesign of NE 43rd Street by the U District Station. @GuyOron covers the redesign. realchangenews.org/news/2023…

Liquor control busted Flowers on the Ave, and @mudede happened to be there sipping a serviceable sauvignon blanc while thinking about Dirac’s banquet speech for the Nobel Prize he won in 1933. thestranger.com/food-and-dri…

NE 73rd & 20th NE. A friendly reminder to slow down and be careful at the stop signs. Thankfully no one was hurt, but sadly the tree is badly damaged. 20th NE needs speed bumps. @RavennaBlog #ravenna #seattle

43rd between the Ave and Brooklyn is so good, and I know it’s sad that I make a big deal out of one tiny stretch of road but it rocks so hard to only have the occasional bus rolling by while I eat at a shaded picnic table 50 feet from the station I’ll use to get home.

Looking for people who live near lower Ravenna Park or U Village who might be willing to join 7 of us to form a neighborhood emergency hub that would act as a clearinghouse for info & resources if and when the Big One happens.

Talaris is back on the agenda. This time, they've dropped the number of McMansions to 48. Still an unmitigated disaster, now more sprawling.

The Northeast 45th Street on-ramp to southbound I-5 is currently blocked while @SeattleFire responds to a nearby fire away from our roadway. Seek alternate entrances to southbound I-5 in the meantime!
Replying to @SeattleFire
@SeattleFire response is blocking the on ramp to I-5 SB from NE 45th St to respond to a building fire. Use alternate routes.
