Honestly I could mark literally every street in Lakeridge as "popular" and it'd be valid
they bike a _lot_, apparently
hopefully tomorrow I start labelling streets ^_^
this was an adventure
if you know the area better than most and some things seem distorted and one set of blocks looks kinda hand-drawn, you are EXACTLY CORRECT because KCRT and KGIS and City of Seattle do NOT MESH. I did what I could with the chunks I could use and just had to draw the rest.
Everything takes you where you're supposed to go but do _not_ rely on distances here.
But despite all that
Welcome to the megamap, LAKERIDGE and BRYN MAWR.
Okay. Streets need labelling. Plus a few other things. But I think this is a decent first real draft.
It did not fit like a glove. But I think it _looks_ like it fit like a glove - I honestly keep forgetting where the western boundary is and am kinda proud of that - and that's what matters for usability.
Also made a few clarifying edits on City of Seattle again. I'd say "the way they had it wasn't _wrong_..." but... some of it was. xD

I mean seriously LOOK AT THIS
DO NOT BIKE HERE IT WILL KILL YOU
GO TO HENDERSON JFC
about half do, I think. but half don't. they do this instead. madness. (as is this intersection's existence.)

never done this before but holy shit so many people do this and it's such a bad idea
seriously it's a full pair of four-freeway-lanes cloverleaf merger interaction with paint as buffer to shoulders, it's so dangerous holy fuck
meanwhile henderson is a no-cars bridge over the same highway

I don't like it much but ... maybe?

Something else i'm trying to figure out is that it's pretty clear that people are using sidewalks on 4th Ave SW between 102nd and Roxbury, then along Roxbury heading west. I'm not gonna label them bike paths because they are clearly ordinary sidewalks, but they're being used _as_ bike paths. And I don't know whether or even how to mark that.
The section on 4th Ave has houses with entrances facing that sidewalk, and parking. The section on Roxbury itself has _nothing_ facing it until basically 14th Ave SW and I'm _almost_ willing to mark that as a bike path, except it's so narrow.
But it's absolutely the safest-looking way I've seen to get to downtown / 16th and Roxbury.

Rat City, team, you gotta get incorporated and get yourselves some bike infrastructure, it is dire
I salute your bike riders because holy shit, there are popular routes I am _not_ sending people to on my map. They're too dangerous, but you use them anyway and I respect that
BUT I GOTTA QUESTION IF YOU BIKE THERE
There's a popular route on 108th that gets less popular where I stop it, but is still used by a fair number of people. It's the third most popular way to get to the one (1) route across I-5. It uses Myers and 6th Ave S. Myers looks like a deathtrap so I have a question:
IS IT SECRETLY OKAY?
Because it sure doesn't _look_ okay. It looks like a good way to die.

(proof of fit only - the basemap needs cleanup work and a couple more adjustments - but all that's easy, making the projection work was the unexpected issue, but here we finally are SO)
