With Seattle on path to miss 2030 goal, CM Saka calls for an audit of the Vision Zero program

From SDOT's 2023 Vision Zero top-to-bottom review (PDF). In 2015, Seattle gave itself 15 years to reduce traffic deaths and serious injuries to zero. With four years left, the city is not on track to meet this goal. With SDOT staff scheduled to present about traffic safety to the City Council's Transportation Committee Thursday, Chair Rob Saka announced that he will request a performance audit of SDOT's Vision Zero program.

HeapRide is a group bike ride and dance performance hitting Seattle streets in May

HeapRide is a roving group ride and dance performance inspired by and utilizing bicycles. I was invited to a press preview of Heap's upcoming series of three May performances, and it is very promising. I'm a big fan of bicycles, dance and creative uses of public spaces, so they pretty much have my number.

Mayor Wilson expands Bicycle Weekends to every non-Seafair weekend Memorial Day to Labor Day

Portions of Lake Washington Boulevard will go car-free nearly every weekend this summer from Memorial Day to Labor Day including extended weekends for three holidays, Mayor Katie Wilson announced Monday. This storied open streets event formerly known as Bicycle Sunday has been held on Lake Washington Boulevard since 1968, and the 2026 schedule expands it from 10 to 15 weekends and includes three extended holiday weekends for a total of 33 days, more than any year prior (except for maybe during COVID shutdown times, but those felt a bit less celebratory).
