Скачать или смотреть Seattle cyclists push city for dedicated bike lanes across Fremont Bridge

The Ballard-Fremont Greenways coalition says cyclists are having to make a difficult choice between two safety hazards along the Fremont Bridge.

"Cyclists and pedestrians crossing the bridge are forced to share a narrow sidewalk that's barely six foot wide," said Bryant Mason, the coalition liaison.

The group wrote a letter asking the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) to add a two-way protected bike lane, freeing up the sidewalk to allow for social distancing and creating a less congested option for bicyclists to ride across the bridge.

"With the additional need to maintain a safe social distance, the constrained sidewalk places become even more hazardous for cyclists and pedestrians," said Mason.

Mason said this is somewhat of a first-step fix to a city-wide issue. https://www.king5.com/article/news/lo...
