  1. @sdwilsh I got a look at it on Google Maps and remembered it immediately from being there earlier this year - I was all "oh, THAT thing." So I'm gonna add it but I'm gonna add it as half regular bike lane and half sharrow and hopefully people will figure it out. Or at least be alerted that there's weird shit there.

  6. oh good Lakeridge has

    "Lakeridge Dr S" (which google calls Lake Ridge Dr S but streetview says they're wrong)

    and

    "S Lakeridge Dr" (streetsigns agree)

    and they do not directly intersect

  11. I mean seriously LOOK AT THIS

    DO NOT BIKE HERE IT WILL KILL YOU

    GO TO HENDERSON JFC

    about half do, I think. but half don't. they do this instead. madness. (as is this intersection's existence.)

  12. never done this before but holy shit so many people do this and it's such a bad idea

    seriously it's a full pair of four-freeway-lanes cloverleaf merger interaction with paint as buffer to shoulders, it's so dangerous holy fuck

    meanwhile henderson is a no-cars bridge over the same highway

  13. Something else i'm trying to figure out is that it's pretty clear that people are using sidewalks on 4th Ave SW between 102nd and Roxbury, then along Roxbury heading west. I'm not gonna label them bike paths because they are clearly ordinary sidewalks, but they're being used _as_ bike paths. And I don't know whether or even how to mark that.

    The section on 4th Ave has houses with entrances facing that sidewalk, and parking. The section on Roxbury itself has _nothing_ facing it until basically 14th Ave SW and I'm _almost_ willing to mark that as a bike path, except it's so narrow.

    But it's absolutely the safest-looking way I've seen to get to downtown / 16th and Roxbury.

  14. Rat City, team, you gotta get incorporated and get yourselves some bike infrastructure, it is dire

    I salute your bike riders because holy shit, there are popular routes I am _not_ sending people to on my map. They're too dangerous, but you use them anyway and I respect that

    BUT I GOTTA QUESTION IF YOU BIKE THERE

    There's a popular route on 108th that gets less popular where I stop it, but is still used by a fair number of people. It's the third most popular way to get to the one (1) route across I-5. It uses Myers and 6th Ave S. Myers looks like a deathtrap so I have a question:

    IS IT SECRETLY OKAY?

    Because it sure doesn't _look_ okay. It looks like a good way to die.

  15. Welcome to the megamap, TUKWILA, WHITE CENTER, and GLENDALE

    (proof of fit only - the basemap needs cleanup work and a couple more adjustments - but all that's easy, making the projection work was the unexpected issue, but here we finally are SO)

  20. ...okay it's a 5° climb for 0.3 miles but why is the lowest-traffic way out of downtown Kirkland which takes you east _over_ 405 _not_ on the Eastside 2 Line Connector map?

    It's even painted as sharrowed

    ETA: OH WAIT WAIT I GET IT OKAY my bad

    this is part of the changes they made in map marking that I dislike. it's totally there. a little bit of it is _wrong_, but it's there. and regardless, I can improve it, so I will in 2.0.9

  25. Gonna drop a new bike map rev, but it's all just more caution/construction warning updates. The Burke-Gilman 5-day closure in Kenmore, NE 125th in Lake City getting all that work done (and it's gonna be great but right now it's, uh, yeah), and Kirkland's sewer problems just continue.

    On the plus side, NE 124th also in Kirkland properly wrapped up, so it loses its warning, and the closure of Eastrail near the Seahawks practice facility is also long over.

    Gonna see if there are any surprises in the Friday round of construction updates, and if there's something to incorporate I will.

    I really thought Kenmore would be done with 61st Ave NE by now. But nope. Alas.

  26. I've got errands to run but have a quick release notice anyway, I'll do a real one later:

    BIKE MAPS 1.7.1 RELEASE

    Greater Northshore
    MEGAMAP

    See the README for details.

  27. 2 Line Eastside Bike Connector updated their map to include the new train stations opening today! If you’re seeing this on May 10th, you can go to the opening events!

    Naturally, we’ve picked up the new version, and both Greater Northshore Bike Connector and MEGAMAP 1.7 – 10 May 2025 – are now available to download.

    But this time, I have something to think about.

    They've gone and changed their map key on me, and I'm not entirely sure what to do about that.

  28. it’s a proper poster ratio now

    all the margins are the same against the black foamcore

    (ignore the weird indent on the upper left this is a quick and crude paste-up on an older map)
