   Posting on behalf of Beacon Hill Safe Streets:

   Come by Beacon Hill light rail station today from 5:30-7 pm to check out SDOT's open house for the Beacon Ave S & 15th Ave S Safety Project! They are revealing new 60% designs for this project that will create a safer route connecting residents in South Seattle.

   SDOT will later update the project page; this is your chance to see the designs & give feedback

   Project: https://www.seattle.gov/transportation/projects-and-programs/programs/bike-program/protected-bike-lanes/beacon-hill-bike-route

     @owen @bobco85 @seabikeblog this @activetowns video has a bit about the middle-of-the-road loading zone in Port Townsend with #EdgeLaneRoads. Too many space-constrained road redesigns are starting from the flawed assumption that they need #YellowCenterlines, which waste most of the space most of the time.

     @bobco85 @seabikeblog let delivery drivers park in the GP lane. It'll slow down traffic.

     AJ Sadauskas repeated this.

     -ongoing issue on 15th Ave: where do delivery trucks park w/o blocking bike lane/sidewalk? Not yet figured out, suggested side streets might not work
     -trash can pickup may be handled by designated zones atop wide concrete bike lane curb on 15th Ave
     -center turn lane on Beacon Ave to be removed
     -loading zones on Beacon being preserved and/or expanded, outreach being done w businesses

     -15th/Beacon intersection to have all ped-bike signal phase, I suggested adding No Turn on Red
     -concrete bike lane barrier to have small gaps every 15 ft or so for drainage
     -I asked if they’d have same cracking issues as Melrose Ave, answer was these will be wider & have additional internal metal reinforcement
     -outside BH lt rail, bike lanes go behind bus stop shelters

     I attended this & talked w a few SDOT folks; takeaways:
     -great choice of location, lots of people passing thru who stopped by to learn abt project
     -few ppl still trying to push cyclists onto other streets
     -60% designs shown on many printed pages
     -NW corner at 14th/15th changed from flexpost barrier to concrete island w bike lane cut-thru and 3” mountable curb apron for turning buses
