35th is busy enough. Bike lanes won't help.
Stop this nonsense.

This is a terrible idea for 35th. No bike lanes on 35th. they belong on 36th or 30th.

Ridiculous plan! Favors cyclists over ALL others: businesses, churches & synagogues, library, post office, seniors, disabled, kids, car commuters, pedestrians, bus commuters, nearby residents ALL lose!

What's up with the white ghost bike that's been chained to a telephone pole for 3 years now? Halloweens have come and gone, yet the ghost bike remains. It's partially blocking the sidewalk, which makes it difficult for people in wheelchairs to navigate around.

Since Rob Johnson is so concerned about safety, why doesn't he address the insanity of parents who put their children into bike trailers and go off for a spin on Seattle's arterials, deliberately placing their child in harms way. Riding a few feet from a 2000+ pound vehicle that is going upwards of 30 mph is putting your kid in harms way.
Yea, dad or mom may think their kid is safe while taking that left hand turn or tearing across that busy arterial, but while mom clears the turn safely, the kids could easily get crushed by vehicles. Mom and dad seem to just pedal away, without a care in the world with junior riding behind in the death-trap.
I can't be the only one who recoils at this site.

We have a handicapped family member that shops on 35th. Without easy access, it will be almost impossible for her to make her way around. The bike lanes will be dangerous getting out of the car, across the bike lane and to the curb. Stop this plan.

Fewer than 1% of the population on sunny weekend days are ever seen bicycling on Seattle streets (far fewer still on rainy/cold/icy days), Yet, Rob Johnson wants to keep spending/building (with our money) something that few will use.
Johnson bleats about protected bike lanes being a "safety" issue. How about keeping the crosswalks well-marked, lit and SAFE for pedestrians (100% of us)? Also, where is the concern for our local businesses (who pay a pretty penny in B&O taxes that Rob and company like to spend)?
Keep street parking for us so we can easily patronize our wonderful, local shops and retailers. We DO NOT want or need designated bike lanes on 35th Ave. We are your constituents - and you, Rob Johnson, serve us - not the other way around.

Rob Johnson and the City are not listening and out of control. Stop this phony paving project.

35th is already well over full capacity. Busses, cars, businesses needing parking all on a very narrow one lane each way street - for safety sake please do not put in a bike lane. Please move the busses back to 40th as well. Trying to drive through this area numerous times a day is nearly impossible now.

Stop this plan. Bikes can bike on sidewalks, sidestreets and alongside traffic peaceably. Stop the elitist spending!

This is going to cause gridlock without the ability to pass left turning vehicles all the way up 35th. Cars turn left everywhere, not just at 75th st.

I am a bicyclist and I think this proposal is wrong! Among other things, I do not want to be riding on 35th with all the cars and smog! It makes more sense for bicyclists to use side streets.

I am retired and live in the neighborhood. I don't have email so I asked my neighbor to enter this for me. I am against the dedicated bike lanes on 35th. The street is a major arterial and too narrow for this social experiment.

SDOT forcing this on the community that does not want this. Was masked to help improve pedestrian safety but real purpose of all the meetings was to show SDOT "got community involvement". Does not take into effect existing bike lanes already in-place and under used. Take the money and either fix the potholes or to the homeless. More important and bigger issues.
