Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map 1.4 RELEASE

[solarbird]

Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map 1.4 – dated 30 August 2024 – is now available on github, as is MEGAMAP 1.4, a pasteup of Greater Northshore, City of Seattle, 2 Line Eastside Bike Connector, and a little bit of King County Regional Trails to get us all the way to the south end of Lake Washington.

New in this release:

• New data type: 1 Line Link Light Rail stations are now mapped, both on Greater Northshore and the MEGAMAP! They allow bikes onboard, so count as bike infrastructure. (Note that all 1 Line stations north of Seattle proper open on August 30th, not before.)
• Added several street names, particularly around 1 Line rail stations, for better wayfinding
• Cleaned up other street names where bike infrastructure overlaid KCGIS labels
• NEW SEATTLE ROUTE: New MLK bike lanes from north of S. Winthrop all the way up two blocks north of I-90. Seattle’s big map doesn’t have this yet, but mine does, Greater Northshore Megamap FTW ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
• Upgraded block connection on 68th between Bothell Way and NE 181st/Remington in Kenmore to Sharrow after upgraded street painting
• “Very Bumpy” advisory removed from Shoreline Interurban Trailhead due to repaving, thank you wildjo on Github for the contribution
• Re-added very short trail exit from Shoreline Interurban Trailhead that got lost somehow in a previous map revision
• Added two more short starter sections of what will become the “Trail Along the Rail” in Shoreline, and adjusted exact ending point of the largest section already on the map, thank you https://social.ridetrans.it/@bobco85 on Mastodon for the contribution

Here’s today’s Seattle Times article about the new stations, too. First train leaves Lynnwood (CORRECTION) around 12:30pm on the first day.

See you at the opening!

ps: my patreon, if you feel like throwing some change at the jar. I mean, I’ll keep doing this regardless, but you know. ^_^

Damn. That is one FINE map. The other maps are in the corner, gossiping, jealous.

Is it okay to share this with some of my coworkers? There are several who live in the ares and bike in to our U district office.

Oh that's the whole point of posting about it. I want it shared, please do!

Thanks! I assumed it was okay, but I'm extra careful with other people's content.
It's getting rave reviews, everyone is excited to see it all on one page.
Nice work!
