@greyllama
Anyway, being me, it naturally started getting out of hand and now I'm also maintaining a Newcastle map so I can link the Seattle and Eastside on the south end, too, and also, with this expansion, the Greater Northshore covers just as much area as any of the other maps all by itself so _I_ say we're a peer map now.

I'm also thinking of filling in a little south of Seattle, where the City of Seattle map ends. But I need to finish this Snohomish County expansion first, obviously.

@greyllama Not of which I'm aware, but I haven't looked.

I started making this map (and the companion MEGAMAP, which goes down to Renton) after...

okay so. Seattle's had a good bike map for ages. King County did a long time ago, but quit except for the regional trails map. I kept hoping they'd bring the detailed map back, but they didn't, and then the 2 Line Connector popped up on the Eastside and I was like "okay THAT'S it" and made the Greater Northshore to connect them, because island maps are fine but connected maps are geometrically more useful.

Hey, anybody bike in Snohomish county? I've extended the Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map further north, up up Lynnwood City Centre. I'm sure I'm missing stuff so... help me out? Tell me what I've missed?

Alpha test release: do you bike in Snohomish County?

I’ve got an alpha of the Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map posted in a temporary location. It extends the map northward to Lynnwood City Centre, tho’ not all the way up to Alderwood Mall.

If you have any knowledge of southwestern Snohomish County biking, give it a look? I’ll get up to Mountlake Terrace to catch a train and I’ve biked the Interurban and North Creek trails pretty far up, but that’s it, and is nothing like on-the-ground knowledge.

The uploaded version had to be trimmed at the bottom a little to stay on 11×17 paper with one-quarter-inch margins. Here’s what the full thing looks like; I’m honestly a bit up in the air about what to do about this. Staying on a single row of tiled 11×17 strikes me as kind of important.

Shortly after the aquisition of #Komoot by Italian #PrivateEquity firm #BendingSpoons about 80% of its staff has already been fired.

When logging into the account the main page does not show anymore the latest activities of the followed people... It may be a good idea to download all traveled and plannend #tracks as #GPX files on the #computer - just to be on the safe side.

Sometimes I make poor decisions. 😅

I only wanted to do a short ride around the neighborhood this morning so I figured I'd take the 1970's Raleigh since it's a silly old 3-speed I definitely don't want to ride far from home.

I put air in the tyres, noticed they were in really poor shape, but rode anyway and came home to this.

A $4.15 million grant allows Bublr Bikes to add e-bikes and stations...

"Successful Bikeshare networks are designed so riders are never more than 2-3 blocks away from the nearest station. This expansion moves Bublr in that direction and keeps Milwaukee’s bikeshare as one of the best in the country.”

the sort of thing you discover when working on a map.

I’m finally expanding the Greater Northshore and MEGAMAP the extra mile or so into Snohomish County as I’ve been promising. This expansion gets users to Edmonds and Lynnwood Town Centre – including the light rail station – so there’s some real meaning to it. In the east, it’ll eventually be important for the expansion of the Rail Trail, too.

Sometimes, tho’, when you’re doing stuff like this, you discover something. That happened tonight.

Check out this incomplete little map section-in-progress. There’s something to infer from it:

The crossings of Highway 99 at 208th and 228th have weight. Cyclists use them, even where the infrastructure stops short of the highway. They’re okay with both.

But they don’t use 220th. That’s fine – 220th interacts badly with I-5 not much further to the east, and has no infrastructure east of Highway 99 anyway. Of course they don’t use it.

212th, on the other hand, doesn’t have those problems. Infrastructure on both sides, even if a little short on the east. No I-5 issues.

And yet, people DO NOT WANT TO CROSS there. They REALLY don’t. They want to go half a mile or more out of their way north and cross at 208th, or a mile and a half out of their way south and use 228th instead.

It’s very specific to the crossing, too. They do use the infrastructure on 212th, on both sides. It lights up on the heatmaps, nice and bright.

But they don’t leave it. They don’t cross 99. Not there. They go north. Or maybe south, but mostly north.

And I can’t for the life of me tell you why. Not from looking at the maps I have. The intersections at 212th and 208th seem much the same to me, even from streetview. Infrastructure’s a little more complete at 208th, but not all that much – what’s half a city block between friends?

And yet.

People who bike there, they know something. Something I don’t, and something I can’t see on a map or from a satellite.

Neat, eh?

I wonder what they know.
