Congratulations. Forward thinking has increased congestion, raised blood pressure and lowered IQ’s.

It has also calmed traffic, reduced collisions and increased safety. I’m sorry that your feelings are hurt, though.

I just cut through the neighborhoods now. It’s even worse in Capitol Hill, you should see all the Please Don’t Speed and Twenty is Plenty signs…

Which is why I want speed bumps – lots of them – on 34th SW. Too many drivers going too fast on a block that’s a school zone.

Good luck!
Andres,

Conversationally, we discussed the $250k/mile figure, with a little extra for planning and unforeseen expense. Under promise, over deliver. I was suggesting compromise with a phased approach, but to SDOT it makes fiscal and practical sense to do it in one shot. I can be on board with that.

I don’t typically apply for the DoN grants myself, as I would then need to recuse myself from voting at the district level. However, I’m always happy to answer anyone’s questions about them, and provide what assistance I can. Not enough folks apply for them IMO, and the Parks dept and SDOT find great value in the applications even when unfunded. The Safe Routes grant is great, thanks for the tip.
