I almost always get a response and action. The requests are small and reasonable and most of them stem from something I almost hit or notice while on my bike. I put in a new request to King County over the weekend concerning a dangerous grate on the 17000 block of Newport Way. Skinny tired cyclists be careful!!! I may just take some paint out myself and circle the grate and paint a warning. Haven't heard back from the county yet. I'll let you know if I do.

Although I'm not an Issaquah resident, I work in the city and for the past ten years have used bicycle and/or bus as my primary commuting modes. If you read my blog from the April 29 entry forward, you'll get a pretty good idea of what my new obsession is, and I'm trying get as many citizens of Issaquah behind it as possible. Anyway, several of my co-workers who live in Issy are going to submit CARs to the city regarding this idea, so it will be interesting to see what happens. I would also be interested in your thoughts regarding the idea, and whether you and your constituents might support it. http://ridingwriter.blogspot.com Hello Jeff,
