    I actually noticed this on Sunday as I went to Burien from West Seattle.  I always go up Marine View Dr. from Lincoln Park.  When I got to the top I think it is about 102nd or so there were SDOT trucks out putting up new Speed Limit Signs that say 15 MPH till you get to 106th where most people make the turn.  Just thought I would throw this out here since our options for getting out of WS are still a concern.

      Well, it should be no surprise. People continue to drive recklessly, and SDOT has to intervene to ensure public safety.

    Reed,Then why do they not take care of the Roads?  Up in that area they are pitted, and all they ever do is patches.  Our roads and infaststructure are a joke in Seattle.  I have done quite a few Find It Fix it pot hole repairs along that stretch of road since it now gets a lot of use.  Pretty soon they are going to tell us we can’t drive on the roads at all with the way they keep putting up those (Walk Only Streets).

    Agree Reed. Lowering speed limits are the answer!!!

Sorry, comment time is over.
