SDOT is proposing a bicycle lane on the uphill side of Roosevelt Way NE between NE 75th and 85th Streets. The bicycle lane would replace on-street parking. Comments can be submitted via email or at an open house on August 28th from 7:00-8:30pm at the Northgate Community Center. See the project web site for a map and more details.
Why on such a busy arterial as Roosevelt? Do the people working on bicycle planning ever actually ride one? Why not on one of the quiet sidestreets that parallel almost all of Roosevelt. Doesn’t matter how many stripes or sharrows they paint on busy arterials, I wil never risk life and limb by riding on them.
