Unmute the Commute: Bikes, Bread, and Traffic

The period of maximum constraint – that’s the term city planners are using for the next few years in Seattle, when a series of major construction projects will take place to improve transportation in the city’s core. But before these improvements are finished, there is a lot of construction and some nearby business owners are struggling with closed streets and disconnected infrastructure.
