“… he was covered with the evening news … had an old pair of wool socks on his hands…Craig Morgan 2003. This is one of my favorite country songs.

A friend pointed out that it has been awhile since I wrote. I tried to say that I was out of stamps, but she saw through that right away. The truth is I am just tired. I laughed the first time I saw the beer commercial that advertised, “To the misery! Dilly Dilly!!” Then it hit me, that this is where I indeed go, everyday, dilly dilly.

I get a bunch of emails from my neighbors telling me about the return of the motorhomes, or the new tent, or the lady in the car. And I say THANK YOU. Thank you for the email, thank you for the patience, thank you for the opportunity. I cannot fix every situation, sometimes I make no difference at all. But I will always take my at bat.

This week I dealt with crisis, with narcotics, with heartache, and with liars. Sometimes all at once, sometimes one at a time.

I am helpless to unlock the doors when dealing with a person trapped in a horror inside of their own mind. Lord, I try, but I am a limited man with just a little skill. I wish we could solve this one aspect of the conflagration.

I dealt with heroin, and meth…again and again and again. It is what it is. I have two young ladies that have proudly kicked the needle. I am there for them when they need me. I think they are going to make it out of the woods.

I met with heartache. I stopped the world, stepped into a quiet place with this man, and shared what I could. You see, police deal with tragedy all of the time, we don’t get called to the good times. I finally figured out how to talk to people about it, most of us never do. I again emptied out my wallet because this man needed coffee and breakfast a lot more than I did. I am a rich man, I should do more.

I dealt with a liar. I won’t go into details, but it looked like I was being a mean cop with no heart. Be careful of what you think you are seeing. I have my cameras on, I stand open for review, and I stand behind my decisions if and when I need to take action.

And so we continue. A little smarter, a little more worn, a little more tired. Reserve your judgment of others, but trust it when you think you should call 911. We are kind of awesome and would love to help.

I still love coming to work. We have an awesome city with the ability to adapt and overcome. The only way to lose is to not try. We are trying to solve this crisis, and we will not lose. We are open 24/7/365. We still make house calls. Call us when you need us. Email us when you need to. Say Hi and wave when we look grumpy…we need a smile sometimes too.

I agree with JoB. My mother used to recall being on the receiving end of fire bombing raids. There are also health implications to disruptive sounds. When these disruption go beyond reasonable times & lengths, I think it becomes a public issue. I do shift work, but I don’t expect the world to stop the 4th of July. I do expect reasonable behavior to respect people & animals on a different “schedule”. There are laws governing noise at construction sites for a reason. We are entitled to a modicum of quiet enjoyment in our own homes. I also think it’s reasonable to expect people to abide by the fireworks laws. Setting off sticks of dynamite is not “Innocent Fun”

[westseattle7]

Let me clarify: I do always yield to pedestrians on the Alki trail, and I have never collided with anyone. I also will sometimes hop onto the street to avoid the worst bottlenecks (at duwamish head for example). I only hit 20 going on the longer straightaways where ped traffic tends to be nil, and when there is heavy summer tourist traffic I do cruise slower out of a sense of safety.

That being said, the attitudes expressed here are exactly the ones I’m fighting against. To TSurly, yes I am an entitled cyclist, as in I am ENTITLED to use designated trails on a bicycle, by the law. Go ahead and check out the Seattle Municipal Code. There is no speed limit for bicycles on city trails. SDOT has the Alki Trail in bold green on their bicycle map (indicating a major BIKE route). I’m not going to be shamed or called a “jerk” for exercising my legal right to ride by bike on a bike trail.

Yes, it’s mixed use also. No one disputes this. Like with the waterfront trail downtown, there are clear delineations between where cyclists and pedestrians should be. In fact, the downtown trail completely separates the two by wide park space. Everyone rides fast on that trail. People commute on it. Speeds up to 20 mph are common. No one is going to question a cyclist’s right to commute through the downtown park at speed, because it’s a vital route folks need to use.

Some people see the Alki Trail as a boardwalk. That’s fine if you do, but know that it is B.S., and a concept that exists in your mind, not legally. For me, that trail is a vital commuting corridor, no different from the Burke, the Interurban, or any other mixed use trail in Seattle. These are highways for cyclists, and my commute is long indeed, so I have a need to travel at speed.

I know many cyclists on Alki prefer to take the road. Good for you. I am not one of you. I don’t feel especially safe on Seattle streets mixing with multi-ton vehicles, and for that reason take trails whenever possible. Alki Ave SW has other hazards, like people racing in the street, and traffic becomes abysmal in the summer with everyone looking for parking and cruising around.

So it’s not for me. I choose to take the trail instead. That’s my right to do so, and no one is going to shame me out of it because the bourgeoisie have decided in their mind that trail is for strollers and tourists. I’ve been riding my bike on that trail since I was a kid. I’m not going to start risking my life on the road because some folks feel they get to decide arbitrarily what the best usages are.

Oh, and BTW when I ride on the road, I get constant shit from drivers who are pissed I’m not on the nearby trail. You can’t win as a cyclist in this city. People will criticize you no matter where you ride. I’m sticking to the bike trails, whether the car-centric transplants who move here like it or not.

[melissa]

In the spots where there are two paths, pedestrians and dog walkers and so forth should stay off the bike path and cyclists should be able to zoom along. If that’s what the op is talking about, I certainly agree. However, on the part of the path that we all share, cyclists should go slower out of respect for walkers and in the interest of safety (unexpected actions by kids, dogs, and — yes — the occasional adult). And cyclists should use shared path etiquette like announcing themselves. If they want to zoom in that section, then they should use the road. Also, I believe it’s the law that on shared paths cyclists should go no faster than either 12 or 15 mph.

[newnative]

As someone who mostly walks, I completely agree with westseattle7’s rant. the actual speed isn’t really the issue here. It’s the lack of awareness people have for multi-use paths and sharing etiquette. Heck, I have gotten yelled at for jogging past walkers. I have gotten stink-eye from people standing in the middle of the running track because I had the nerve to use it for running! People want to walk wherever and stand in the way and not keep track of their dogs, kids, shopping carts or whatever it is they’re dragging around. There is nothing wrong with walking, riding, running at different speeds but slow traffic should always keep to the right and always be aware of your surroundings. Why do people get so defensive about this?

[KBear]

There may not be a specific speed limit on the trail, but the law DOES require you to “operate at a rate of speed no greater than is reasonable and proper under the conditions existing at the point of operation, taking into account the amount and character of pedestrian traffic”. That means the more pedestrians there are, the slower you MUST go.

Mixed use means mixed use, but there are clearly marked, separated paths for pedestrian and wheel based traffic. Mixed use doesn’t mean anything goes. And you’re right, Myrtle-Edwards is level and on the water, but that example proves my point exactly. On the waterfront trail, bikes and pedestrians are siphoned onto separate paths (like on Alki but with better median separation). During rush hour that trail is a major commuter route for bicycles who routinely cruise at 15-20 mph (I used to pedal this route daily and people would pass me going at that speed). No one bats an eye at fast cycling on the centennial trail, even though it meets all your requiremnents for a “boardwalk.” But “boardwalk” is not a legal concept, except in the minds of some. These are crucial bicycle highway routes with separated paths and bike bicycle symbols painted on the pavement. Yes others can use the bike path too, but then there should be a reasonable expectation if you do so bikes will be whipping by (and signaling and yielding appropriately). It’s not for some to declare this trail is for “cruising” because that’s what they use it for. I use it for commuting. I shouldn’t be forced off a marked bike trail because some are uncomfortable with the path being used as legally intended. I’m not trying to be an a-hole here, just trying to live my life safely and exercise my legal ability to pedal at speed on a marked bike path I’ve been cycling on since I was a kid.

As someone who rides everyday, I think you are severely misinformed. The Alki Trail is a multi-use trail, not a bike trail. As such, you are required to yield to pedestrians, even if what they do pisses you off. It is not a place for hard charging. If you want to ride 20 mph, ride in the street with the rest of us. Your rant is nothing but an entitled whine that makes cyclisst sounds like jerks.

Seeing as this is Seattle, and complaining about bicycles is a time-honored tradition among motorists, I thought maybe I could offer a cyclist’s perspective.

I live near Alki. I work downtown. My bicycle is my primary mode of transportation, exercise and recreation. I do not own a vehicle. In fact, I moved to this part of town in part because I wanted to integrate cycling into my commute. Like most cyclists in this neighborhood, I use the Alki Trail, which keeps me away from cars who don’t want to share the road with cyclists anyways. So far so good, right?

Well, apparently not. Just yesterday I passed a jogger on the trail (which is fine, it’s mixed use), who snidely remarked “why don’t you slow down?!” to me as rode by. I was so taken aback by this absurd comment that I actually circled back to talk to the guy. He apparently saw me coming back, and quickly high-tailed it across the street (in true Seattle, passive-aggressive fashion). I wasn’t planning on intimidating him, I honestly wanted to answer his question face to face, because this is a constant annoyance for me.

Yes, I do need to go fast. I have a tight commuting schedule and when I bike for exercise I also need to ride fast. Usually I cruise about 15 mph, sometimes up to 20 while on the trail, but rarely faster than that because there are just too many people not paying attention. What’s more, this is my right as a cyclist. Car drivers are constantly complaining that bike riders are still on the street ignoring the nice new cycle tracks and bike lanes. Well here I am. A genuine cyclist using a bicycle path for biking. Who woulda thunk?

So let me go ahead and shout this out loud: That trail is a ROAD for cyclists. We have no other route to go from Alki. That is it. So for those of us who truly commute (or just choose to recreationally bike), we need to go fast on that trail. Yes, it is a “mixed use” trail, but its primary and original function of that path was as a dedicated lane for bicycles (there are walking paths on the side). To tell a cyclist to slow down on a bicycling path is like jogging in the middle of the street and yelling at the cars to go slower. If you jog in the bike path, you’re going to have bike zipping by you at 10-20 mph. That’s. What. It’s. For.

Now, since everyone likes to complain about cyclists breaking traffic laws, sliding past cars, blowing stop signs, etc., let me share with you the things I see on a daily basis on that trail: people walking in the bike trail, sometimes spread out over the ENTIRE path, moms with three strollers wide blocking most of the path, people walking dogs, letting the dog’s leash extend all the way over the trail (a dangerously common sight), families spread out over the trail letting small children run all over it, people jogging / walking / rollerskating on the wrong side of the path, creating bottlenecks, people walking in the middle of the path, rollerskating moms with two strollers and a dog taking up the entire path, giant groups of tourists hogging the whole trail, etc. etc. etc.

I mean I could go on forever. Mostly these people are 1) not paying any attention to their surroundings, 2) have headphones or earbuds in, 3) have no concept that they are on a bike route and need to yield space for cyclists to pass. Meanwhile, I am expected to shout “on your left” or ring a bike bell to everyone else on the path (whether they should be there or not), even if make no effort to ever look behind them. I’ve had to dodge dog s***, broken glass, needles and unsupervised toddlers left to wander unattended on the trail. On more than one occasion I’ve had small children run straight in front of my moving bike and nearly crashed trying to avoid them. Would you let your kids just run out into the middle of the street? What would people say about parents who were that neglectful?

But whatever, I mostly don’t complain because what’s the point? Who to even complain to? It’s just one of those things you shrug and sigh at, but move on. All I can do is keep cycling.

And this is what I want to say to that jogger (and to anyone else who thinks bikes go “too fast” on the Alki Trail): I am not slowing down and I’m not taking guff from people like you who think the trail belongs to them alone. There is no speed limit on Seattle bike trails, and nor should there be. Cyclists have the right to commute and recreate at velocity. It’s called a bike trail for a reason. Learn the etiquette, stay on the right, pay attention, and you will be fine. But you’re going to have fast bicycles zipping by you if you run in the bleeping BIKE TRAIL. This is the only piece of pavement we have in this cyclo-phobic city that is completely at level grade and on the water, and it is the only bicycle connection from Alki to downtown.

So if you want bikes off the road, then they need to be on bike trails. And they need to go fast for trips to be efficient. We’re not going anywhere. We’re not slowing down for you. Get used to it.

RANT OVER. Thanks for reading!

I recommend giving us a little more information like the nature of the sign; business or building name? Do you want a local artist or a chain sign store?

If you’re looking for local, the stand out icon of West Seattle is Sign Savant aka Jaffe Witte. I’m a design geek. This guy is a master of old school sign making. His work is everywhere in Seattle.
