Seattle walk/transit rant but

5th and 145th being closed to pedestrians from the Shoreline south station is so fucking crazy.

The entire area around the station has been an enormous fuck you to people on foot for years at this point.

@Ghostpaw I mean the whole point of all the work they're doing at both 145th and 130th is to fix pedestrian and bike accessibility for good

@kauko yeah

The whole 'half the station catchment still has to cross a shitty bridge over a freeway' isn't fixed by the roundabouts either.

And there have been times when they had almost reasonable pedestrian detours but it was adding half a mile and 4-6 extra light crossings at times, and that was when going straight through across 145th.
