Some kind of musical cue indicating more snow
possibly on the horizon, maybe low woodwinds with a little more of a scale than
the JAWS shark…

While we restock our larders in case the Monday
forecast actually occurs…
Snow: Advocacy
Note: the letter above covers a lot of
infrastructure accessibility points; some members of the #deaf community also
advocate for the mayor to ALWAYS use sign language interpreters for her press
briefings, not just one day of them. So probably worthwhile to see whether
other things need to get added to followup.
Here some more background with lots about ADA
requirements and practices in different cities. Kostelec Planning on Snow
RantWoman appreciates all the technical detail for
instance about plowing practices. At the same time, RantWoman can totally
respect people who decide just not to go out because they cannot count on
continuous safe travel routes, even in the best scenario.
Snow. Burien
By way of celebrating RantWoman’s habit as much as
possible of getting to transportation meetings on her own with usual tools,
just as an exercise, Tuesday RantWoman went to Burien. The bus trip was fine.
The last ¼ mile or so was about average in the department of wander around a
big complex with minimal signage, never mind whether RantWoman can read the
signage that is there, and find the building where the meeting is supposed to
be. RantWoman thanks a Leaf-driving
automotive rescuer…
RantWoman’s point though in mentioning travel to
Burien: the 131 bus was one that did not operate under Metro’s Emergency
Service plan. The part of the route RantWoman rode did not seem excessively
steep. The streets the bus ran on seemed to have been plowed. So what’s up with
why a route is or is not in the emergency Service Network? Does a municipality
need to kick in money? Are there technical or road characteristic issues
RantWoman has not thought about. Basically, what’s up with that?
