This speech from Mercer Island councilmember Craig Reynolds in support of reducing barriers to building permanent supportive housing is a remarkable thing to hear from an elected official in Mercer Island. "NIMBYism is not an effective strategy politically."
HAPPY FRIDAY @seattle.bikedis.co is tonight! 🪩🚲 easy for Eastsiders to get to the start (Seattle waterfront Pier 58), harder to get back from the end (Discovery Park) all bikes & bodies welcome! slow ride stays together! 🧥pack a LAYER! 💡charge your LIGHTS! 🗺️have a plan to get HOME! 🥰make FRIENDS!
The irony that if Mercer Island had not reactively down zoned in 2016 it would likely be in compliance with small adjustments. The great Hines project and new performing arts center for children was just too much to bear www.mi-reporter.com/2016/06/08/m... www.mercerisland.gov/sites/defaul...

A sizable group of Mercer Island residents are incensed by a new state law requiring their city to accommodate homes for people exiting homelessness, showing up to a council meeting urging CMs keep permanent supportive housing banned. One resident compared the law to the construction of I-90.

Going downhill from Eastrail to the 520 trail doesn’t have any bike infrastructure at all
Option 2: Eastrail but there is no direct connection between the 520 trail at 108 Ave NE. There’s a narrow bike lane uphill.
Painted bike lanes are not bike infrastructure. The problem with going to the Eastside is that you have a world-class trail, the 520 trail, that has a major gap in Bellevue. Option 1 - Northup Way: video here of a truck with no side guard passing without the mandatory safety distance
