I really think the big problem here is that we keep deferring maintenance and piling it into these huge projects all at once. It’s unfortunate that they need dry weather, but the work has to be done.
What’s fucking insane is that we just don’t have viable alternatives to the highway system. There’s no regular trains or metro. The bus network is sparse and slow. It seems like in countries that don’t have our congestion and construction problems they have viable alternatives to driving and so have lower infrastructure costs. Those lower costs translate to more periodic, off peak maintenance.
We absolutely should get more of the beautiful weather to ourselves and I do think that the state government and WSDOT aren’t really aligned with making that possible particularly soon 😂
Both have been said, but just to reinforce: I think a combination of an information campaign (send an email, put up a sign in the break room) about local transit options and maybe some subsidy for transit could solve the problem.
I know around me a lot of companies provide employees with a regional transit pass.
This is hilarious, I love it. I know a lot of us take for granted that we can whip something like these up on the fly but there’s plenty of people who could use a nice little resource like this!

Don’t you fucking put that anywhere Microsoft might see. They’ll do it.
Has anyone read the book they cite in there, fighting traffic?
Unfortunately terminator seeds very much are a thing North America.

Did you get this from somewhere specific or did you compile this all yourself?
