I would visit San Juan island once a week for 4.5 years. See the seasons changing, the early morning ferry ride , the small local businesses, all are such a" fresh breathe of air " compared to the traffic infested, Seattle and it's terrible decisions by the city council members to ruin our streets, by taken out lanes , everywhere ! Turning a perfectly well Designed 4 lane road into a 2 lane road, is by far, the dumbest , most wasteful use of taxpayer resources , I've ever seen. I lived in Seattle my entire life ! To expand a sidewalk wider , so it absorbs a lane and or losing street parking or adding a bike lane , where it's not needed. Is taking away everything my tax dollars have been paying into for decades. Bicyclist can ride in lane, on any road except the interste freeways . Bike lanes are not needed. Sidewalks that are as wide or wider than vehicle lanes are not helping the steady flow of traffic, especially in a city that has a continues population growth year after year.
I am expecting a huge refund for all my years of tax paying funds, that went to WDOT. Seattle citizens , now have ½ the amount of streets they used to have. That's is the best thing about the San yaun islands.....no Seattle city counsel board ruining people's commuting life. Thank you San yaun islands...please don't change for the worst
