It was gnarly like that for miles. Mayor Screech has some explaining to do.

 

Just lower the speed limit so pedestrians can walk on the road.

Just lower the speed limit so pedestrians can walk on the road.  

Unless you introduce the Clover Point factor into the equation, at which point vehicles and pedestrians cannot co-exist within nearby space, even if those vehicles have no velocity whatsoever.

When the crosswalk at 83rd and Greenwood showed up last September, it didn’t look like all the others. Rather than the piano key pattern used by the Seattle Department of Transportation — staccato bars of white paint, separated in pairs of two — this one was a series of large, evenly spaced white blocks.

 

It didn’t look like the others because this crossing was painted in the middle of the night, without city approval. By whom is unclear; no one’s claimed credit and those who may have an inkling either can’t or won’t say.

 

While its beginnings are unknown, its ends are not: SDOT scraped the guerrilla crosswalk off the street earlier this month.
