SDOT is rolling out another PSA instead of doing engineering.

SDOT Vision Zero image: Title: Leave some space. Subtitle: State law requires you park 20 ft from all intersections and 30 ft from stop signs. Image: Green alien crossing at an unmarked crosswalk showing cars not parked too close. Sub text: Keep corners clear so we can see neighbors crossing!

They could just ask parking enforcement to focus on this, this will bring some revenue from the tickets and I’m sure the local TV channels will share the news for free…

In fairness they are apparently doing some engineering, however the timeline isn't really acceptable: "more than 20 intersections in 2025". sdotblog.seattle.gov/2025/08/22/i...

20 intersections a year? At this rate we'll be done in no more a century or two!

I thought these were paid by federal grants?

Yeah, tbf it's somewhat unfair of me to blame SDOT for using the federal money that has to be used for education for education. But I also think we need the federal budget allocation to change.
