Comments needed for a safer Nickerson Street

Filed Under Bicycling, Community, Neighborhoods, Pedestrians 

A safer Nickerson Street is in the works to connect Seattle neighborhoods- but your comments are needed to make it happen. The City plans to add bike lanes and create better conditions at intersections that will create a far more comfortable – and less nerve-racking – ride for both commuters and recreational riders.  This is an important connection to the Fremont bridge and the Burke-Gilman, the new Chesiahud trail along Lake Union, Queen Anne, and points west in Interbay and beyond.

Please stop by the open house  this Wednesday, March 4 between 5 and 7 p.m. to comment in favor of a better Nickerson for bicycling, at Seattle Pacific University’s Demaray Hall, at 509 West Bertona St.

Thank you for your advocacy!

    What a joke. How about instead you bike riders get licenses and tabs for your bicycles, and we use that revenue for building you your own private lane of travel.

    Once you gather enough money that is…

    Seattle streets are paid for out of general fund revenues, which includes property taxes, sales taxes, real estate excise taxes, etc.

    Bikers pay those, and use a lot less street space and cause a lot less wear and tear than a car with a single driver. Drivers should embrace the bicyclists, in the long run they are saving everyone money, and using our streets more efficiently.
