Seattle DOT director Greg Spotts notes the need to think about streets along the edge of a park and whether they support the park's purpose. By turning a fast, noisy slip lane that slingshots drivers into Green Lake into a barrier-protected 2-way bike lane, the change reduced noise and the traffic effect of SR99 at that spot. Much more parklike.

Yesterday and today I'm on a tour for state legislators highlighting the Safe System Approach. We're in Seattle looking at the protected 2-way bike lane on Green Lake that repurposed a parking lane. One segment converted a 2-way street to 1-way, which eliminated drivers blasting through here like it's a racetrack. Includes a segment on SR99 that closes a gap.
