It's good to know that the people who support cars in PPM, also want to keep our roads more dangerous for pedestrians in general. At least they are consistent. (From the comments section *shudder* of the WSB story about putting in a crosswalk at Lincoln Park)

When driving in is the only option

“Yes, it should remain as it is. Cars are the only way many mobility-impaired people can get to the Market. If very lucky, you might find parking, but if not, you can be dropped off near your desired location. All the parking areas serving the Market are too far away to walk to the Market.”

A comment from Mark Schletty on the West Seattle Blog

“and for SDOT safety is non-negotiable* says it all about why SDOT does all the anti car things it does. All SDOT has to do is declare anything it wants to do to be about “safety” and they can ignore all public input, even if it is overwhelmingly opposed to their plan. Like the stupid Roxbury hill lane removal. This is just another form of totalitarian government like Trump is imposing on the country. We are the government so we can do anything we want. To get back to a SDOT that supports all forms of transportation, including the most needed and used form of cars, virtually the whole department needs to be replaced.

There is a cynical attempt by the car lobby at Pike Place Market to use the shared streets law to reverse the pedestrian pilot and downgrade Pike Place to how it was before. Don't let them.

I guess some people really just love cars and hate people westseattleblog.com/2021/01/foll...

They are not allowed to close them this way. City ordinance and SDOT directives require a thorough impact and input process. They have a process for appeal. Months ago I filed a legal formal appeal of the Alki closing. I followed the exact process required and cited all the appropriate City Codes. I cited where the City was in violation and my demand for the City and SDOT to cease with the closure until proper required process was followed. This formal appeal was sent to the SDOT, the Mayor, the entire City Council and the City Attorney. To this date I have received no reply from the SDOT or the City. Not even a notice of receipt. Herbold did respond after a couple months but offered no help or resolution proposal. The City Attorney just dumped it back on the SDOT. I still hope the City will follow its own requirements and allow for a thorough study of the necessity of this closure including broad citizen input. This particular closing affects both a public street and a public park and open equal access thereto.
