Thank you @transportation.seattle.gov for working to close the dangerous bike gap on 12th Ave between the CD and the CID! This was one of the key gaps we highlighted earlier this year in our @seattlebikeblog.com #UnGapTheMap post: www.seattlebikeblog.com/2026/05/29/g...

Here's the previous technology in action! New retractable bollards will be installed this fall.

Seattle Streets Alliance@streetsalliance· 28d

The Seattle Center is modernizing their bollard system, so we organized a tour to learn how it helps manage the complex loading and unloading needs for their businesses and cultural institutions. We were joined by representatives from SDOT, Pike Place groups, and community members. Thanks SC staff!

Too many people have been killed on Seattle’s streets in recent weeks. These tragedies are preventable. Tell Seattle leaders to improve intersection safety, require side guards on large trucks, and prioritize Vision Zero. Take Action: actionnetwork.org/letters/plea...

Side-by-side diagram comparing an intersection before and after daylighting. The “Before Daylighting” illustration shows cars parked close to a crosswalk, blocking a driver’s view of people crossing and reducing visibility. The “After Daylighting” illustration removes parking spaces near the corner and replaces them with a striped no-parking zone, creating a clear line of sight between drivers, pedestrians, and people biking. The diagrams highlight how daylighting improves visibility and safety at intersections

illustrating a bicycle safety side guard. A person riding a bicycle is shown alongside the truck, with a red panel labeled “Side Guard” covering the space between the front and rear wheels to help prevent cyclists from being pulled underneath the vehicle. The diagram notes a maximum 13.8-inch ground clearance beneath the side guard and indicates the truck bed height is typically 50 inches.

"The real question underneath all of this is: Who is public infrastructure actually for? Fast through-traffic? Or the grandmother walking slowly with her grandchildren? The teenager learning to ride? The dad pushing a stroller? The elder who needs flat ground to move safely?"
