Phew. This is good news!

I confirmed with a source living in Renton: King County is looking into using 7th Street instead of BNSF railway for the Renton segment of the Lake to Sound Trail. The sharrows are a temporary measure while plans for a cycletrack get considered.

7th Street east of Shattuck recently got a 2-way PBL

A bicycle symbol sits on a new curving concrete 2-way bike lane A road curves tightly to slow drivers next to a newly paved 2-way protected bike lane at 7th Street and Talbot Road A new 2-way protected bike lane transitions from street level to a sidewalk level wide shared use path on 7th Street

  1. That being said, I will be biking up some wicked 20 percent grades to go over beacon hill to get home today instead of dealing with these sharrows.
