It's been much better here in Ballard. I can actually use the bike lanes on 8th Ave. again.

- simfree 4y agoHasn't the Ballard Alliance been employing ambassadors similar to the Downtown Ambassadors to defend the blocks (pick up trash, encourage homeless to not sleep on defended blocks, etc)? IIRC their grants and ability to tax local businesses came through under Jenny Durkan's reign, same for the Uptown Alliance covering Queen Anne and Belltown. Jenny Durkan's reign of rainbow colored tear gas was truly awful, but this (and further roads investments) were bright spots.
