Question: if I bank at Wells Fargo and I use a dropped-floor minivan with a side ramp because of my wheelchair, is there a place on this street where I can park and exit my vehicle? Could they not space the k-rails 32" apart or whatever, not enough for cars but for walker-frames and wheelchairs and mobility scooters? You could even use taller ones since people could walk between them instead of having to step over. Bicycles are great for those who can ride them but almost everyone will have a time in their life that they can’t.
I’m not from Seattle, but the clues tell me that this is 4th Avenue N. (OpenStreetMaps has the cycle track, Google Maps does not yet.) Probably you’d do the same thing as before the change: Use the parking lot that’s on the left side of the image. It appears that none of the angle-parking spots that were removed were van-accessible. Most notably, the aerial imagery shows that the 7-11 across the street has an accessible spot with space marked for van unloading.
Thank you! I figured someone would know what street it was. I do approve of Real Bike Lanes. And good point about the original spots. Now if I can just figure out where to cross from the lot to the sidewalk. I’m going to assume there’s a blue path somewhere out of frame
