Expect a good year before the City gets a fix. <br /> Expect more of the same because Puget-topolis is 4 million now and is rapidly approching LA, Chicago New York, Houston proportions. Best check with these big bad cities when you build anything here in Shoreline and forget about aesthetics. I will miss my crossing without waiting for the traffic light.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-90082717197161175412021-10-18T16:18:34.365-07:002021-10-18T16:18:34.365-07:00I ride those bridges all the time.

Over the past couple of years I have noticed a significant uptick in the amount of garbage, graffiti, needles, human waste, and encampments on the trail within about a half mile of the intersection of 155th & Aurora. The bus stop south of 155th is a particular problem, where the new normal seems to be several abandoned shopping carts and piles of garbage on the ground. Even such visible issues often go unaddressed until someone reports it on the public reporting website, and sometimes even then the city's response is incomplete. It would be nice if the city focused some assertive, proactive attention on monitoring and maintaining trail conditions. One has to assume that a contributing factor in this recent vandalism is the appearance that the city is not paying attention to what goes on.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269244193649525445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-83006060423627339532021-10-15T10:12:40.875-07:002021-10-15T10:12:40.875-07:00So, isn't there a camera there to capture the ...So, isn't there a camera there to capture the dorks that wrecked it for the rest of us?Scrubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03420440018948270254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-74352887561904113912021-10-14T23:51:05.115-07:002021-10-14T23:51:05.115-07:00This is the way things go in our community.

We spend more than we have to on an art installation for a trail bridge, then because it is made of glass instead of just concrete and steel, some malcontent bashes it and makes the whole project not only more expensive, but even dangerous to people passing under it.<br /><br />There is a solid bloc of people in our region who have demonstrated that they DON'T DESERVE NICE THINGS. Until we stop coddling them through public policy, expect the destruction to continue.herrbrahmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08308204686231352936noreply@blogger.com
