Comment: Do you guys wake up every morning wondering how you can make transportation more difficult? Blocking off roads instead of providing infrastructure is cheap PR and a profoundly unserious way to go about this. You are the Department of TRANSPORTATION, not the department for baby strollers and playgrounds. SDOT's Reply: We wake up every morning wondering how we can help support people who need to travel, no matter how they do it. One big and important group of people who need to travel is families going to and from school. School Streets are a pleasant and simple way to help support the 30% of Seattle school kids (nearly 3x the national average) who travel to and from school without a car by simply giving them priority for one block of the streets near the school. Local access is preserved. Plenty of parents will still choose to drive, and the rest of our streets will support them too.

Meme of person drowning and other person reaching hand out to give a high five instead of saving the person. Tiles say: - Rent is too high (person drowning) - "Bruce Harrell" (reaching out hand) - "One Seattle" (high five) - (person drowns)

Rosa Arzeta, who has owned the Sunrise Restaurant with her husband and other family members for two years, said all of her customers drive. “It doesn’t make sense,” she said of the all-day bus lane. “Buses don’t run 24 hours a day.” Though she disagreed with the decision, she was resigned to it. “I don’t like it, but what can we do,” she said. “The city does what it wants.”
