The board meeting with #SoundTransit on whether to continue considering Amazon and the Mayor's alternative proposal for #Seattle 's Ballard Link is happening tomorrow, May 23 2024, 1:30-4:00PM PT.
@allen@ducksauz I do believe I answered ST's survey about this many months ago, with something like "these options are negligibly different and any change along this axis is not worth the extended timeline".
I'm not sure I even count as a photographer in the Pacific Northwest if I haven't posted any pictures from a ferry. Here's a few from a recent back-and-forth across Puget Sound for an assignment on an exceptionally clear day a couple weeks back.
Once again, there's corpo-political BS going on with light rail. Seems that under some Amazon influence, the ST board is aiming to go against their own staff recommendations for the CID station location. Apparently, Amazon is concerned about their drivers being slowed down by construction. Screw that!

A century ago, this photo was taken in Haubstadt, #Indiana. This town had both a #train station and #electric#interurban service, with a population of less than 700.
Now it has over 1,600 people, but has no service of any kind. The station and several of the buildings in this photo are now gone or empty.
Even major cities with populations in the hundreds of thousands sometimes lack basic #rail service. It's painful how much we've lost.
My view out the window riding the city bus today. Bus wrap #advertising makes travel miserable. Advertising wrap over bus windows says to bus riders that they dont deserve a view of their city or a comfortable ride.
@danwentzel I read this as Montpelier, VT and thought what! Vermont as free public transport?! WOW! Then I saw the link, Euro, and realized it was actually probably France lol. Still nice to see though!
#PyCon attendees who are flying into #Pittsburgh have a $2.75 option for getting from the #PIT airport to the convention center: the #28X#bus.
The ticket machine and door to the 28X are just past baggage claim L, on the left side. You can pay cash, buy a reloadable card, or buy a daily/weekly bus pass.
