Hi Bonnie,

I never got anywhere on it. I worked with the Seattle City Light and kept getting tossed around to different people and promises of “we’ll look into it”. Meanwhile the bill was going unpaid and I was getting yellow/red notices. I just ended up paying it all. I have a 14 month old and work full time, I just don’t have time to devote to fighting Seattle City Light. Wish I had better answers for you. Note that on the gatewood blog there were dozens of people that experienced the same unusual hike in fees with no explanation…good luck!

It’s pretty common for taxpayers to subsidize transportation. Look at Amtrak. Or King County Metro. Or Sound Transit. The collected fares only pay a portion of operating costs. The remaining costs are paid with tax dollars. I’m not saying subsidizing bike rentals are a good use of tax dollars. Or a bad use. Honestly I don’t know. But I’m not convinced that every transportation subsidy is bad.

Of course the biggest transportation subsidy is personal cars. Cars pay only a tiny bit of tax (licensing and fuel taxes) yet the city (and county and state) spend far more on building/maintaining/repairing/policing roads than all other transportation dollars combined.

Has anyone else noticed there have been no street lights at California/Admiral since mid-July? A number of additional lights have been out headed north and south on Admiral for about a block too. I sent in a report to the city in early August. According to the initial response I received, someone stole the copper wiring powering about a dozen lights. It must be a difficult repair, because they just pushed the ETA for the repair out to the end of October!

Lafayette locks the access gates for the 44th Ave right of way now, but leaves the 45th Ave gate with stairway access open evenings and weekends. No ADA access to public property. I hope the lock off access to playground Seattle Public school policy doesn’t happen to Alki school.
Having two gates locked at Lafayette has made it into an off leash dog park, with only one gate left to close.

I went to take my kiddos to the new Genesee school this weekend to play on the playground and let my oldest ride his bike but every gate was locked!? They were all open last weekend and we saw quite a few people coming and going with their kids.. doing the same thing. So I’m just curious… Can the public use the school playground during non school hours?? I’ve never had a problem at any other and we use to visit Schmitz park to do the same thing. It would also help make my older son more comfortable with the surroundings since he will most likely start there next year. Not to mention all of us paying our property taxes, etc. for this new school.

It’s worth noting that Lisa Herbold warned against acquiring Pronto on several counts. Too bad the rest of the City Council didn’t stop to think about it.
One of her points concerned waiting to see if Pronto actually failed and then buying the assets at a better price if the City still wanted them.
I think it would be interesting to review the discussion that took place at that time and see if there were any connections between City personnel and Pronto that might have influenced a rush to reduce Pronto’s loss by the early buy-out. If so, that opens up an obvious course for some house cleaning. Or does the City Council consider the reduced fine ($5000) paid for his ethics violation for participating in the Pronto decision without requesting a waiver.
(Kubly was a former President in the iteration of the company that became Pronto. Even without an identifiable financial interest, the personal connections with key players in Pronto is obvious).

Addendum. Since making the above comments, I’ve done some research, including a review of the video recording of the March 14 City Council meeting. There wasn’t anything that indicated a particular concern about the well-being of Pronto or its people although if such a concern existed on the part of any council member it wouldn’t necessarily or even very likely been made clear. What was clear is the the “optimism bias” that Burgess identified was very much in evidence over the denials of other council members.
This entire episode reminds me of the kind of situation I’ve seen in business in the private sector repeatedly (said in respect to those who tout the magnificent efficiency of the private sector). An executive at a high level gets a bright idea and lower level execs and managers are quick to figure out how to line up in support much more readily than suggesting, “ok, let’s do some rigorous analysis and see if this really is a bright idea; if we find it so, then we can start working on how to do it.” Careers have been stalled for those who hold out for circumspection while very few have been wrecked for supporting a superior’s lame idea.

One of the things I appreciate about Lisa Herbold is that she seems to have a genuine interest in and faculty for dealing with the nuts and bolts of policy. On the Pronto matter and the alley vacation, she demonstrated a willingness to dig into the practical considerations and implications of the proposals and identify the potential (or even likely) down side than the “bright idea” folks recognized or were willing to acknowledge.

The City has no business being in the biking business. Anyone who thinks bike rental is a great business and wants to take it on should be encouraged but should also pay licensing fees. That should be the extent of the City’s involvement: making money on the license fees.

[JanS]

yes, but…the OP was talking about the commute, I ASSume, to get downtown…we don’t ship kids in from other areas or out to other areas unless they go to private school, mostly. I know there would be exceptions..(and I know that a lot of kids are no longer bussed, I do not live under a rock, for goodness sake). My one kid is grown and a mom now. I really didn’t realize that local school kids being taken to and from school affects the commute to downtown so much.

We also have to realize that the density of people living in WS has grown immensely in the last 5 years, since we turned into a developer nation over here…quite a few people moving into the new apartments all over from outside of West Seattle…and those newcomers have to go to work, too.

Just had a tasty gyro that was just like the old Kokoras. I spoke with the wait staff and they are running the entire kokoras menu and the kitchen staff and chefs are from the old restaurant. So it is basically the same restaurant but with added hours and menu for their breakfast and lunch hours. I know there was a bunch of folderol when they first reopened (which I have no need to re-litigate or hear about) but it seems they’ve settled into recreating a format that was successful. I hope people hear about it and keep them open.

And they do have a new website that just got back up with the greek menu…

If you like to bike, you already own one. If you are a tourist, are you going to want to bike downtown? Or up our hills? In the rain? Now, sweep aside millions spent on bikes and buy electric bikes. Why? For who? We need to get rid of the transportation department head. He never worked on transportation anywhere before he came to Seattle. All he knows is Pronto bikes. That is who he worked for before coming here. His inexperience shows. There are only 1 % of Seattle residents who bike every day and yet he bases his entire transportation plan for bike riders. Main streets at 25 mph? Insane.

Near California Ave I lost my Honda keys on 9/16/16. They have some cards on them for Kitsap Livrary, SJCC, and Haggen. If found please reply!

[TanDL]

I am almost speechless at the corruption, arrogance and incompetence of the current City administration. I have never seen anything like it. They need more than just adult supervision. They need to lose their jobs… and fast, before the neighborhoods with their sense of community have vanished, traffic comes to a complete standstill, unsolved crime runs even more rampant and the tax dollars we graciously give to them are 100% squandered.

HAVE YOU EVER PICKED UP A PRESCRIPTION FOR A SENIOR OR TAKEN HIM OR HER TO THE DOCTOR? Helped an older adult around the house? Lent an ear or offered a shoulder to lean on? If you’ve answered yes to any of these, then you’re already a caregiver! Caregiving is simply all those things you do to enhance the quality of life for seniors and help keep them independent.

If you’ve ever thought about becoming a caregiver and would like to learn more, stop by the STARBUCK’S – 4101 SW Admiral Way in West Seattle – THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND BETWEEN 10 A.M. AND 12 P.M. and have coffee with Colleen (I’ll be wearing a red jacket). Our informal conversation will help you decide whether a caregiving career is for you.

Looking forward to sharing great conversation and a latte with you on Thursday!

I’m sure out and about earlier, now that a loudspeaker makes motivational announcements and recites the Pledge of Allegiance at 8:02am Monday through Friday at the local elementary school.

[anonyme]

I find myself agreeing with the Republican running for State Auditor who was quoted as saying that “Seattle needs some adult supervision”. The millions that have been squandered on dimwitted programs like this (and others) could have been spent adding much needed police, for a start. I’m pleased that Lisa Herbold is making some intelligent choices, but can’t say the same for the rest of the Council.

[JayDee]

Bike sharing is a great idea in some cities but not here because it failed. The City of Seattle purchased the failing “Pronto” system including all the docking stations for $1.4MM. In addition, ridership (during summer no less) is down so the system will lose $400,000 more this year. Now a Quebec-based company Bewegen won a contract to run a bike share system one that uses electric-assist bikes (Who would have thought of that?) which renders all of our 500 lime green mechanical Pronto bikes obsolete, along with their docking stations. So a $2MM Nanny state feel-good loss of taxpayer money. Way to go Mayor Murray and go-along council members. At least our local council rep (Herbold) was against it.

ecojill..
i am one of those people who complain loudly about off leash dogs… and i am a dog owner.

As a dog owner i consider it my responsibility to pick up my dog’s poo and to make sure that they have safe and legal places to be off leash.. behind secure fences.

I have shiba inus (only one now) who are notorious escape artists.. so yes.. there have been rare occasions when my dogs escaped from my yard… but they were rare and the dogs were quickly recovered because i don’t leave them in a yard outside when i am not home.

that’s what a responsible dog owner does.

it is unthinkable that a dog owner would let their leashed dog attack a seal .. though i have seen dog owners sic their dogs on other dogs and i have watched dog owners allow their dogs to chase birds while on a retractable leash.. so who knows..

I don’t assume that a dog owner stood by and watched their dog attack the seal… but i do think the distinction that the dog was off leash is accurate.

If the dog was not leashed it is off leash… and that makes it some person’s responsibility.

Time to get rid of some of the city council.
Let business run business, and keep the city out of it.
Don’t they have better things to do?(rhetorical)
we don’t need another 5 mil down the terlet.

[ecojill]

Thanks Mike – that article and the investigation clarifies that it was a dog most likely. It’s interesting from a language perspective that people don’t say a dog, but an off-leash dog. Makes it sound like the owner is purposefully letting their dog attack a seal – could be a lost dog or a backyard escapee or even an on-leash dog.

I’ve been watching the rhetoric between dog owners and those who are down on dog owners. Wish we had a bit more balance here to serve everyone and less vitriol. With more dogs than kids in Seattle, we could dedicate more space to dogs and alleviate some of the problem.
