    Nice. One thing I loved about my recent visit to Europe is just how lively the streets feel with people meandering around them. Anything to help make the city more welcoming to people.

    We should make the whole of Lake Washington Blvd this, from Madison Park to Lake City.

    EXCELLENT news. There was a gang pimping for that at the UWDistrict fair this spring. Was noticing that happening W. of CapHill the other day.
