I just got back from the Roxbury/509 route. NO PROBLEMS. Seriously. About 80% of the pavement is dry. Once out on the main streets, I did not encounter any of the thick, treacherous ice which currently blankets the side streets in my neighborhood. I had absolutely no trouble with the grade inbetween 35th and White Center. The grade between White Center and Olson Way had a bit of snow and ice on it, but only a thin layer and very manageable. The grade down to Myers Way was completely cleared and dry, as was all of 509 and 518.
The real issue seems to be getting out of the neighborhood side streets. Once you are out, it’s not a big deal.
