When cities treated cars as dangerous intruders

See the "Lake to Bay" project, connecting a decent walking path from Lake Union to Elliot Bay. It will involve crossing streets. It will feature additional benches/seating and improved lighting. The initial proposal by a local resident was extremely well done.

That’s the very small walkable part.

Go to SoDo, or parts of South Seattle, or North Seattle, and it’s much worse, and that’s just “Seattle proper.”

Complaining about SoDo not being walkable seems silly..

I guess people are being anti-car extremists in this thread, but still. SoDo? Land of concerts and events and dispensaries?

SoDo has the only free public COVID testing center in the central area of the city. I don’t think it’s that unreasonable that people without cars should be able to safely access a public service.

Not to mention plenty of cyclist deaths from people who have to cross SoDo to get where they’re going.
