I see your points but I like many hate the 25 speed limits. This would not happen if we had stuck to 35. All it did was create frustration and anger. And to be fair often pedestrians can be to blame too or bikes that blow through lights etc. I dont dismiss your concerns i too live by Delridge but it feels to me that all the blame is on drivers who are often very considerate and dont do what you describe. Take a fair look at all the parts in this equation. I do agree the streets are poorly designed but we need to be honest that some streets just cannot be fixed because of how they are laid out. I would like to see more emphasis on sidewalks with attached bike paths instead of trying to stick one on a busy street at the cost of all the parking. I am thinking more like in the Netherlands. Near me both 21st ave sw and 18th ave sw could accomodate sidewalks on both sides but in the case of 21st they put up barriers calling it a safe street which is stupid. It needs sidewalks. Dont even get me started on 23rd with mailboxes and recycle containers in the middle of the sidewalk…
