The photo and report from Delridge Way SW and SW Alaska were sent by Shane:

Wanted to write as I didn’t see it mentioned on the road work today … it looks like the city (finally) put in an official crosswalk by the Delridge Playfield. It’s just paint and a couple signs but it’s still much clearer to cars that this is an official crosswalk now and hopefully is a step toward real pedestrian safety improvements along this road!

(The median was already there, but without crosswalk markings.) Customary reminder – this corner and others were/are crosswalks even without paint.

Do Snoqualmie and 35th next please!

Tell the city…

  I did, and they said no because they don’t want to encourage crossing there, despite building a relief island and curb cuts. Seriously. Maybe they’re turning over a new leaf with the Delridge addition?

Imagine spending $154 million and not painting a crosswalk where there is already a curb for it…

Now do Delridge and Dakota. No one stops when I’m crossing there. At least having a median helps.

I think all park adjacent crosswalks should be elevated and with flashing crossing lights. The amount of times I get hit crossing genessee x 26th is atleast once a week from people doing 40 in a 25.

Sorry, comment time is over.
