I have to say that Jeff's interaction with staff, as I observed tonight @ the CTC meeting, is comfortably low key & may have a good impact. My concern is that bike facilities went from ~$100,000 investment to $20,000 (out of $500,000 for Complete Streets) when they took out Montreux. Seems like there are other links they could stripe that would add more safety sooner than later. Right on, karen.

I guess I would support bike lanes there if they were planning on adding 2 more general purpose lanes, otherwise, it is plenty wide and our ridable space would be narrowed by adding a 5' bike lane. Isn't the speed limit 25 mph? I probably should go up there - haven't riden there in a couple years. We need bike lanes on East Lake Sammamish! Newport Way east of SR 900! SR 900 all of it! without knowing any details, my initial thoughts are to save the $ and skip putting bike lanes on village park
