REMINDER: 16th SW parking-change conversation Wednesday

| Puget Ridge | West Seattle news

Will the city change parking rules in what’s arguably West Seattle’s most popular current place for RV parking, along 16th Avenue SW by South Seattle College (WSB sponsor)? We’re reminding you today that as announced last week, SSC will host a community conversation tomorrow night (February 4), 5:30 pm at Cascade Hall (CAH on the map for the campus at 6000 16th SW). Parking signage has been used to deter RV parking in areas such as Harbor Avenue and SW Trenton; on SW Andover, a bicycle lane was installed. City reps announced as participating in the meeting will be from SDOT and the Unified Care Team (which deals with encampments).

From the photograph the RV’s are encroaching into the bike lane, this is a SAFETY issue that needs to be resolved. Citing and removing offending vehicles, including cars/trucks that encroach into the bike lane needs to be done yesterday before someone gets seriously injured or killed!

I used to think we had a 2-tier justice system in America, one for the ultra-wealthy and one for the rest of us. I now realize that it’s actually a 3-tier system, one for the ultra-wealthy, one for the ultra-poor, and one for the rest of us. Only one of the tiers has any meaningful enforcement.

I bike down that street daily, and while I wish the bike lane was kept clearer, the RVs are no bigger an impediment than the huge pickups and SUVs and improperly parked cars and Amazon delivery vehicles etc that block bike lanes all over the city. And if I’m killed while biking I can guarantee it’ll be by a speeding driver, not a stationary RV.

Sorry, comment time is over.
