well I figured out why Roxbury gets used west of 16th

it's because it's the ONLY east-west that doesn't get a 4-8% slope marker

also it has de facto bike lanes - it got narrowed there a while ago to three lanes, two traffic and a turn - but the pavement isn't up to grade for Seattle (which does apparently own that street in its entirety) won't certify them

Should I add the "commonly used" to reflect that reality? but only to 18th at very most.

eta: WAIT NO IT'S JUST FURTHER WEST

and still less steep but still over 4%

So I guess will NOT be adding that until and unless the bike lanes become official

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

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.

Lo más perturbador del Universo 25 no es lo que le pasó a los ratones. Es lo que no le pasó.
No hubo matanzas, ni canibalismo generalizado, ni explosiones de violencia. Hubo algo peor: atrofia conductual masiva. Ratones hermosos e inútiles, acicalándose hasta morir, incapaces de recordar cómo se cortejaba, cómo se peleaba, cómo se criaba.

‘Rat City’ #2 continues its slow-burn origin story

Rat City #2 continues to flesh out the world of this new Spawn, with the ending hinting at more chaos and carnage to come for Peter Cairn.
