Tonight: Public meeting about possible 16th Ave SW bike lanes in White Center + Take the survey

Well, this one’s a pretty easy choice. Support Option 1 for a section of 16th Ave SW in White Center! Take King County’s short online survey and attend the open house at 6:30 p.m. July 24 (tonight!) at White Center Food Bank. From the survey:

Diagram of option 2 with no bike lanes and lots of extra parking.
Table outlining the differences in the options.

As a side note, King County is making a classic mistake with their outreach here. If there’s an option that is safer than the others, it really shouldn’t be put up for a public debate. Why would we ask a community whether the safety of people is more or less important than 21 theoretical parking spaces that don’t even exist today? Especially since they have an option that improves bike safety while also increasing parking. Like, what are we doing here, folks?
