solarbirdIf you’re on a pre-2.1 map, 2.1 was massive, filling in large swaths in the south end and you want this update to catch up. And this release – 2.1.2 – is pretty important for the north end, even if we’re still waiting for Shoreline to connect the pieces at 5th Ave NE and for Kenmore to finish on 61st Ave NE. The biggest individual piece of news is that the Cross-Kirkland Connector is FINALLY OPEN WITHOUT DETOURS AGAIN! Also, big changes around 100th Ave NE in Juanita will matter a lot over there.
The full list of changes with this release:
- REOPENED: Cross-Kirkland Connector at 85th NE is OPEN WITHOUT DETOUR. Work continues but the route is clear! (Both maps)
- ADDED: Fremont Ave gained a protected bike lane on the east side/northbound direction between N 34th and N 36th. The 34th to 35th block isn’t completely done but is open so I’m putting it on the map right away. Thanks to Shawn Wilsher/@sdwilsh@social.ridetrans.it again for the contribution! (MEGAMAP only)
- ADDED: The previously-unmarked bike lanes on 100th Ave NE between Waynita Way and Kirkland now link to something and are have received at least one official marking, so are now officially on the map. (Both maps)
- EXTENDED: The new 100th Ave NE off-road protected bike lanes on 100th Ave NE in Kirkland now extend to NE 138th Street, so have received upgraded markings and been extended on the map. Combined with the previous, this is a big deal for Wayne (in Bothell) and Juanita. (Both maps)
- ADDED: Short extension of bike lane on eastbound 200th St. SW in Lynnwood, connecting the lane to 48th Ave W. The westbound direction continues to be just a sharrow. (Both maps)
- ADDED: This paint that looked like a bike lane but had no markings in Lake Forest Park now has a confirmed sign saying it’s for bikes AND pedestrians both, so now it goes on the map with a special note. (Both maps)
- UPGRADE: The east side of 15th Ave NE in Shoreline south of Hamlin Park has an off-street bike path now, rather than just a bike lane. Map updated to reflect this in the affected area. (Both maps)
Particular thanks to Shawn Wilsher/@sdwilsh@social.ridetrans.it again this release for photos confirming the new Fremont Ave bike lane extension between 34th and 36th on the northbound side. That’s a big deal for the neighbourhood.
All permalinks continue to work.
