And we don’t plan to..." Ah, but block the sidewalk when there's a lot of us, and watch out. Here's a beautiful sight of <a href="http://noisetank.com/hugeasscity/2008/08/27/guerrilla-pedestrians-take-over-1st-ave/" rel="nofollow">pedestrian critical mass</a> that happened on First. “Drivers don’t want pedestrians to take over lanes of Fourth Avenue.

Just take a deep breath and accept it isn't happening. Honking at me when I have a walk sign is not going to make things change. I'm amazed at how many people still drive through downtown Seattle every day on their way to work. You just don't see people expecting to be able to zoom through downtown during peak commute hours in other cities. Yes, most of those cities have rapid transit, but we do have other options here.
