Once they fix the crossing at NE 205th and the two blocks back to proper trail? This will be VERY GOOD.
They've done a lot up in Snohomish County to make the Interurban Trail North better, particularly at road crossings. They're all well marked and distinct, at least up to Alderwood Mall.
I have some edits to make to my map. No new or stricken routes, but a "bumpy" note, extension of a fully-separated lane across another block, and some green dots will change to red dashes because a section I didn't think had signs actually does.
This'll roll into dataset 1.1 rev 6. Since no routes change, there's no urgency.
Tonight, in Seattle, the book tour continues ... I'll be at Town Hall Seattle with the luminous and brilliant Lindy West, talking about how to recognize psyops and maybe even defuse them -- using stories! Tickets available here: https://townhallseattle.org/event/annalee-newitz-with-lindy-west/
The bike part of the bike and sidewalk improvements on 73rd Ave NE in Kenmore are complete! There's still a little work to be done on the sidewalks, but it's good enough for me for now.
Also some updates to bike shop locations (deleting some in Seattle; adding some in Greater Northshore) and a word correction in the MEGAMAP box.
other than addressing the lack of a bridge over swamp creek, tolt pipeline right of way needs so little work to make it a good east-west bike corridor
i'm not talking bike-armour good either, i mean road bike. yeah, there's a big hill which means the western side of it will always mostly be e-bikes, but with even my old Class 1, it's fine.
the part that needs work is a big grassy slope that's very similar to a big paved slope on the other side of the hill. It needs work at the very top, and at this little roller-coaster dip halfway up. that, and pavement. That's the part I walked.
everything else you can bike now and it's basically okay.
Greater Northshore 1.2.1 will be dropping TONIGHT, as soon as I can add infrastructure on NE 73rd St. that I didn't think was going in until next year. It's going in RIGHT NOW. They're almost done. The bike stuff is done, they're still working on sidewalk railings which are currently there but very temporary structures.
GREETING CARDS are Art Prints, can be FRAMED or getting them in a PACK for any occasion, cost less per card, than in big box stores, while supporting independent, local Artists. Thank you!
