West Marginal Way SW along the stretch where SDOT is considering installing a protected bike lane in one southbound lane. (Ryan Packer)
The Seattle Freight Advisory Board devoted a significant portion of their April meeting detailing reasons that the City should not install a protected bike lane on a short segment of West Marginal Way SW. The presentation shown to board members was not reviewed by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) for accuracy, according to a department spokesperson.
While a link to the virtual meeting was available on a City website, an agenda for the meeting was not, providing no way for members of the public to even be aware that it was being discussed. The Freight Advisory Board has also not posted the minutes from one of its meetings since last last July, so who knows when the fact that it had even been talked about would be available as a matter of public record.
Laws change so one can only hope.

The city clearly doesn’t care about fixing the bridge with any level of urgency. We’ve been hung out to dry.

I appreciate process but I still feel the autocrats don’t appreciate the urgency the community feels also why are longshore folks deserve the opportunity to use the lower bridge and essential healthcare workers not?folks getting cemo not but businesses no?with everything else going on it feels like a long drawn out demise of West Seattle
