one of my main complaints about Seattle. they don't mind building & improving things that generate more traffic into an area but they hardly ever update the infrastructure to handle the increase. therefore we end up with congestion.

All I can say is the commentor who said "we were both going pretty fast". Yep, perhaps too fast. I work in Fremont along the trail and let me tell you...many bikers go toooo fast and are not defensive bikers. Running stop signs, pulling out in front of cars...i could go on and on.

Re: Parking options on 28th cut in half

And I totally agree. You should have looked at the parking situation before you purchased your place. The entire intent of this dense housing is to get people out of their cars. And the garages are being used for storage and not parking as intended. I lived in Ballard prior to all this density occurring and as it occurred and the parking even around my place increased I decided it was time to move out. Not only did the parked cars increase and the roads go down to one lane but the inconsiderate drivers came with it.

I have called and complained about the parking in the area a couple of times so it's not just one person complaining. When a truck parks there and it's backend sticks out into the street or they are on the sidewalk then they need to park somewhere else. The other side of the street did a nice job of their parking area. I am glad they are finally deciding to fix this nightmare
