12 people enjoying soft serve 🍦 at the Milk Drunk #CafeStreet is better than two parking spaces.

Build streets for friends and lovers.

Seattle voters love #cafestreets!

Sometimes simplicity is best. Peloton Cafe just put out some basic wood picnic tables for their #CafeStreet seating and it works great!

(Plus a cameo of a corner bike corral. This kind of bike parking increases visibility at intersections — a win for safety and access).

It's incomprehensible why the Ballard Ave Landmark Board is trying to restrict the #CafeStreet pergolas to 10', especially when it would negatively impact the Ballard Farmers Market. The average car length is 14.7 feet.

Ballard Farmers Market is commenting that shrinking the pergolas to 10x10 actually screws over the farmers. Current 12' allows storage for restaurants equipment during Sunday market.

Checked out Magnolia’s #cafestreet seating today. I like their addition of public benches to the privately managed seating — creates a nice welcoming mix of options to sit

@CathyTuttle five streets that inspire me in Seattle:

Fairview Ave: school street in Eastlake. #SchoolStreets
Lake Washington Boulevard: from Mt Baker-Seward Park when it is an Open Street. #AccessibleLWB
Occidental Ave: Seattle's historic pedestrian-only street. #PedestrianStreets
42nd Ave S: A p-patch diverter in South Seattle. #HealthyStreets
Ballard Ave: since it became Seattle's most successful #cafestreet

Any can sit here and enjoy the #CafeStreet space by buying a $3.50 bottomless coffee and support a small local business.
Or you can buy a $47,000 car, pay for insurance, maintenance, gas, and parking and support the auto/oil industries.
Which is privatization of public space? https://twitter.com/blitzurbanism/status/1524441494161031169

This block of NE 43rd in the U-District is a thriving street thanks to the @UDPartnership@twitter.com’s #CafeStreet seating, murals, and the calm atmosphere created by being car free! Come check it out if you haven’t already

Cities can be pretty wonderful places if you just let them be the cities they naturally want to be.

Seattle City Council is voting on whether to make it easier to operate a food truck and street cafe on Tuesday morning at 930 AM, but CM Pedersen is proposing to weaken the rules around food trucks, so send them a note council@seattle.gov to pass the legislation as is! https://twitter.com/greencerenkov/status/1599296245709037568
