Lumpia world is amazing! Their chicken Katsu is fantastic

What specifically are they saying about “traffic problem” on 56th SW? It is a significant access point to the Alki neighborhood, and that’s what it is. Are they trying to close the street to traffic? Doing that will have major impacts on the rest of the neighborhood, just to favor one street. If that’s what is being proposed.

I agree. 56th is a hugely important route for not having to traverse the entire beach traffic area of Alki Ave. I get it if local residents don’t like traffic but that would be a bad reason to affect so many. I live on Alki Ave SW and so I appreciate wanting a reduction in traffic but this would do some real harm if it’s what is really being planned.
