With the amount of traffic and the speeds that they travel, it will be impossible for me to allow him to ride on such a dangerous street. I live on Stone Ave. and have for the past 34 years. I see on a daily basis how bad the traffic is on this street. Between UPS trucks, Fed Ex trucks, Sr. Center buses, private buses from the Retirement Center, YMCA buses, and local delivery trucks all use this street to bypass 185th & Aurora. These are all oversized vehicles on a residential street; adding to the narrowness of the street and the speed of other vehicles on this street going both N & S at the same time, it makes this a very dangerous street. <br /><br />Aurora Rents is no longer using this street to transport rented equipment; but the city rebuilt the traffic lanes in front of the Retirement Center on 192nd. We now have traffic from there coming down Stone Ave in their place. <br /><br />We have had the white traffic speed control trailers on this street on & off for the past 3 years. You have monitered the traffic on this street and yet nothing has happened. So where are our speed bumps or traffic circle, like almost every other street in Shoreline has? What is it going to take to get something done on this street. A child walking or riding a bike on this street going up to 711 to get their treats, and getting hit or worse killed here because there was nothing to slow the cars down and be aware of people on the street.<br /><br />I was on the Echo Lake NTSB Board and asked Mark why nothing was being done, and he replied "nothing can be done". Why?<br /><br />Loren Lango<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-90529703202099363352013-02-25T22:54:22.311-08:002013-02-25T22:54:22.311-08:00If the city is going to build sidewalk then just b...If the city is going to build sidewalk then just build it all paved and please avoid having patches of grass because nobody is going to have time and money to maintain those grass and they all turn into ugly weed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-26224034810625312232013-02-25T22:44:21.059-08:002013-02-25T22:44:21.059-08:00I read it as between 8th and Aurora it is the only...I read it as between 8th and Aurora it is the only route without hills/long detours.

Surely this doesn't mean it will be updated when Point Wells gets developed? That's in the far far far future. Right now, there are no bike accommodations west of Aurora, with the exception of the Interurban Trail, which parallels Aurora south of 155th. Time to change the car-centric ways of Shoreline and make it safe and accessible for all forms of transportation. Riding on RB road is terrifying right now, even though it is one of few routes to the Interurban Trail from Richmond Beach and surrounding areas. In fact, it is the only route that doesn't involve long detours or steep hills. It is also one of the main roads in Shoreline, like 185th and 155th, which have (spotty) bike lanes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-1790286654307861362013-02-25T11:42:45.708-08:002013-02-25T11:42:45.708-08:00Good people coming into the town is good for the t...Good people coming into the town is good for the town.
