Slog - Comments on Trans Awareness Week http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/08/trans_awareness_week There are signs on light poles all over downtown Seattle proclaiming "TRANS Awareness Week." I wasn't even aware that we had a trans awareness week, so the banners are doing their job. Trans Awareness Project (TAP) is the proud new recipient of a $15,000 City of Seattle Neighborhood Grant award, which will enable the first-ever week of Trans Awareness cultural festivities and events held in Seattle beginning this year 2007.... So far we have designed banners that will be displayed down the Pine and Pike Street corridors and will be the first visible demonstration of the Trans presence in this...

They could have used the dates of the event on them, though, unless they're planning to reuse them next year.

Until I looked at the site, I wasn't sure if you were talking about awareness of TRANSexuals or TRANSportation. (see: MASS)

Guess I should have clued into the fact that ECB didn't post it.

Why isn't the city spending this money on something like p-patchs, trees, bike racks, graffiti removal, or something concrete that will actually improve life in seattle? I'm already plenty aware of trans issues; how does a banner improve my neighborhood?
