SAVE 35th AVE NE

Are there plans to contact the city counsel members as well as the major Baby boomers vote too and many of us can't ride bikes

Placing a bicycle lane on 35th is unsafe. I am occasional rider, my son and husband are regular commuters and we will continue to use the local side streets as most cyclist currently do. As for reducing carbon footprint, leaving cars stuck in traffic does not help. Buses on 35th where is live have been reduce from 3 to 0 since moving in 28 yrs ago and have reduced my use of public transit for that reason. I see this bike lane as privilege for men the young adults and not for women, children and seniors. Please think of the whole community and not a small specific group.

We , who live and drive this neighborhood daily do know that the current revisions that have been planned for 35th St. NE are just not in the best interest in the neighborhood or the future of the neighborhood. We absolutely demand to be heard. The people who live in this area (me for 20 years) and who have businesses and who care about the neighborhood know that the current plan will do much more harm and hassle than good. Listen to us. Put planners egos aside and listen to those who reside here, walk here, drive here and bicycle here. Many bicyclists are NOT for this plan. Get smart and give a listen .

Anybody can sign as many times as they like with made up names

Jay Inslee is a fifth-generation Washingtonian who grew up in the Seattle area. His father, Frank, was a high school teacher and coach. His mother worked as a sales clerk at Sears & Roebuck. Jay worked his way through college and graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in economics before earning his law degree at Willamette University. He and his wife, Trudi, then moved to Selah where Jay worked as a prosecutor and they raised their three sons. Jay first became involved in public service in 1985 when he and Trudi helped lead the effort to build a new public high school in Selah. Motivated to fight against proposed funding cuts for rural schools, Jay went on to represent the 14th Legislative District in the state House of Representatives. He continued serving communities in the Yakima Valley when he was elected to Congress in 1992. The Inslees later moved back to the Puget Sound area where Jay was elected to Congress in 1998, serving until 2012 when he was elected governor. He was re-elected in 2016. Jay and Trudi are proud grandparents of three. Besides writing and illustrating books for his grandchildren and sketching scenes from around Washington, Jay is an avid cyclist and charter member of Hoopaholics. During his time in Congress, Jay became known as a forward-thinking leader, especially on issues of clean energy and the environment. He co-wrote a book, "Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean-Energy Economy," about the job-creating potential of the clean tech industry. As governor, Jay's top priority is growing Washington's innovative industries such as clean energy, IT and life sciences, and strengthening existing industries such as aerospace, agriculture, maritime and military. Since 2013, Washington has experienced a seven-year low in unemployment rates, record exports and notable growth in Washington’s key industries. To continue growing these industries, Jay knows we must strengthen our schools so we can better equip our chi

Vladimir Putin’s mother, Maria Shelomova, was a very kind, benevolent person. “We lived simply - cabbage soup, cutlets, pancakes, but on Sundays and holidays my Mom would bake very delicious stuffed buns [pirozhki] with cabbage, meat and rice, and curd tarts [vatrushki],” Mr Putin says. His mother did not approve of his decision to do judo. “Every time I went to a practice session, she would grumble, ‘He’s off to his fights again.’” Things changed after Vladimir Putin’s coach visited his home and told his parents about what he did and what he achieved; the family’s attitude toward this sport changed. My mother baked some very delicious stuffed buns – with cabbage, meat and rice, — and curd tarts. Vladimir Putin Father Photo from Vladimir Putin’s personal archive Photo from Vladimir Putin’s personal archive His father, Vladimir Putin, participated in the war. In the 1950s, he worked as a security guard and later as a foreman at the carriage works. “My father was born in St Petersburg in 1911. When World War I began, life in St Petersburg became hard, people were starving, so the entire family moved to Pominovo, a village in the Tver Region my grandmother came from. Incidentally, my relatives still vacation in the house where my grandparents lived. It was in Pominovo that my father met my mother, and they got married at the age of 17.”

About Her Majesty The Queen Early life and education Marriage and family Accession and Coronation Jubilees and other milestones Interests Charities and Patronages About Her Majesty The Queen The Queen has ruled for longer than any other Monarch in British history, becoming a much loved and respected figure across the globe. Her extraordinary reign has seen her travel more widely than any other monarch, undertaking many historic overseas visits. Known for her sense of duty and her devotion to a life of service, she has been an important figurehead for the UK and the Commonwealth during times of enormous social change. Her Majesty continues to carry out a full programme of engagements, from visits to charities and schools, to hosting visiting Heads of State, to leading the nation in Remembrance and celebratory events - all supported by other members of the Royal Family. The Queen sees public and voluntary service as one of the most important elements of her work. The Queen has links - as Royal Patron or President - with over 600 charities, military associations, professional bodies and public service organisations. These vary from well-established international charities to smaller bodies working in a specialist area or on a local basis only. Her patronages and charities cover a wide range of issues, from opportunities for young people, to the preservation of wildlife and the environment. Having Her Majesty as Royal patron or president provides vital publicity for the work of these organisations, and allows their enormous achievements and contributions to society to be recognised. I think I speak for my generation when I say that the example and continuity provided by The Queen is not only very rare among leaders but a great source of pride and reassurance The Duke of Cambridge Her Majesty supports and encourages achievement in all walks of life through the annual programme of Investitures (at which she presents members of the general publ

Donald J. Trump is the 45th President of the United States. He believes the United States has incredible potential and will go on to exceed even its remarkable achievements of the past. His campaign slogan for President was, “Make America Great Again,” and that is exactly what he is doing. Donald J. Trump defines the American success story. Throughout his life he has continually set the standards of business and entrepreneurial excellence, especially in real estate, sports, and entertainment. Mr. Trump built on his success in private life when he entered into politics and public service. He remarkably won the Presidency in his first ever run for any political office. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Finance, Mr. Trump followed in his father’s footsteps into the world of real estate development, making his mark New York City. There, the Trump name soon became synonymous with the most prestigious of addresses in Manhattan and, subsequently, throughout the world. Mr. Trump is also an accomplished author. He has written more than fourteen bestsellers. His first book, The Art of the Deal, is considered a business classic. Mr. Trump announced his candidacy for the Presidency on June 16, 2015. He then accepted the Republican nomination for President of the United States in July of 2016, having defeated seventeen other contenders during the Republican primaries. On November 8, 2016, Mr. Trump was elected President in the largest Electoral College landslide for a Republican in 28 years. Mr. Trump won more than 2,600 counties nationwide, the most since President Ronald Reagan in 1984. And he received the votes of more than 62 million Americans, the most ever for a Republican candidate. These voters, in delivering a truly national victory and historic moment, rallied behind Mr. Trump’s commitment to rebuilding our country and disrupting the political status quo that had failed to deliver results. Mr. Trump won, in part, because

Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) plans to eliminate all parking on the west side of 35th Ave. NE (from 47th to 85th) in order to add designated bicycle lanes on both sides. This will hurt our neighborhood and will not improve safety as claimed. Keep It Safe and Accessible! Tell the City to Stop, Listen, and Change the Design for the 35th Avenue NE Paving Project THE FACTS: The plan reduces parking on 35th by about 60%. Bicyclists already have safe alternative routes: shared lanes on 35th, a bicycle greenway on 38th/39th NE that connects to the Burke Gilman trail, and other nearby streets. 35th Ave. is a critical neighborhood arterial that serves 13,000 vehicles per day. The City’s plan envisions only one vehicle lane in each direction. This will result in gridlock. Frustrated drivers will zoom onto side streets, putting children and pedestrians in further harms way. Buses and emergency vehicles will be impeded. The City’s plan privileges a few over the 1,000’s of people, including elderly and disabled people, who need to drive and cannot conduct their daily lives on bicycles. It is driven by the Seattle Bicycle Master Plan, which focuses solely on bicycling, not the well-being of neighborhoods or residents. SPECIFIC CHANGES NEEDED: Restore all street parking on the west side of 35th. Remove designated bicycle lanes on both sides of the street. Improve pedestrian safety by adding flashing crosswalk lights at more intersections, not just 80th. E.g., NE 60th, 72nd, 77th, and 87th. Change the design to better meet our transportation and accessibility needs.

SDOT pushed the Bicycle Master Plan without any real public comment. Now follow their shameful contempt for citizens by concocting this project over the concerns of many long-term residents. 35th Avenue is too narrow according to SDOT's right of way improvement manual. Daily drivers recognize this too. Will this project make 35th safer? NO! Fix the damn street then consider bicycle lanes. Our district councilmember Rob Johnson is a big promoter of this project. I have read e-mails from him to local business owners where he lectured them why bicycle lanes were needed instead showing any concern for their businesses. Doesn't he represent everyone in the community? If this bike lane gets built remember CM Johnson's term is up soon.

I am a regular bicycle commuter. Using car arterials for bicycles is a terrible idea which encourages cyclists to mix with heavy traffic (unsafe!) and reduces traffic efficiency. Quiet side streets are far better for cyclists, which is better for those side street residents than the likely increase in car traffic they will get instead.

SDOT knows nothing about neighborhoods . The joke bike lanes on 125th ne, the disasters on Roosevelt and 2nd ave downtown are examples of bike buffoonery. 35th ne would be another. 35th south bound requires two morning car lanes and two afternoon north bound lanes . Where would parking be? Imagine the traffic congestion. No buffoonery here SDOT! Spend money on crossing flashers.

Please do not eliminate parking on 35th. It will kill the businesses.

To the City of Seattle - listen to your constituents. I have been to the community meetings about this project, and they were overwhelmingly against its completion. This petition is further evidence that people don't want to sacrifice their quality of life for perceived marginal improvements. At the rate the city is growing, creating more traffic is the last thing you should be doing. Apart from the terrible traffic this will cause (and serious parking issues), this would create a further mess. With the proposed protected bike lanes (with poles at intervals), it will be impossible for the street sweeping machines to clean the streets. Just look at the bike lanes on Roosevelt towards Northgate...full of slippery leaves, going downhill, and cannot be swept. The city asks a lot from its citizens, and usually gets it. It's time they prove there is somebody up top who considers their wishes. We are not just taxpayers, but also voters.
