GREEN SPACES: The push to keep the surplus substations (including Brace Point, above) and some other city-owned properties as open, green spaces continues. From what’s now the Seattle Green Spaces Coalition, FCA’s Marty Westerman said he and SGSC’s Mary Fleck will be outside Fauntleroy’s The Original Bakery on Sunday morning at 10 am for at least an hour to gather petition signatures, urging the city not to sell off these pieces of public land.
WALKING TOUR FOLLOWUP: Westerman is also point person with the city on followup from the walking tour around Fauntleroy back in January with FCA, Councilmember Tom Rasmussen, and SDOT reps.

He’s working to clarify what action actually is feasible – during the tour, they got lots of positive feedback from SDOT, he says, but now they’re being warned about “cost factors.”
Speaking of followups, some of the ongoing issues:
MOTORCYCLE NOISE: FCA president Mike Dey has been talking to police and the City Attorney’s Office about the ongoing concern with the daily exodus of loud motorcycles from the ferries. He’s been told the city is currently working on an overhaul of the noise ordinance in general because current laws are so wide-ranging, enforcement is difficult at best.
FERRY DOCK TRAFFIC: Money to restore traffic-directing help at the dock is in the State House version of the budget, FCA’s Gary Dawson said, but the State Senate version is still in play, so they don’t know how this is going to turn out.
Fauntleroy Community Association business meetings are held on second Tuesdays most months, 7 pm at Fauntleroy Schoolhouse. Inbetween, watch fauntleroy.net for updates.
