What Is Vision Zero? Plus Rideshares Outnumber Passengers and Pickleball Problems

Today on the show, Jane is joined by contributor Brett Hamil and guest Gordon Padelford from Seattle Neighborhood Greenways to discuss the city’s goal to end traffic deaths and serious injuries on city streets by 2030. Gordon weighs in on why that goal is going poorly and what communities can do to change this preventable trend. Then producer Sam joins Brett and Jane to talk about new data showing rideshare drivers are driving around without a passenger more frequently than with one. Finally, the three discuss Washington’s state sport of… pickleball! And the surprising controversy around it.  Learn more about the  sponsors of this March 4th episode Ignite Seattle Window Nation Discover Seattle Cirque Du Soleil Want to get in touch?
