I patched it. Using prints from my less good printer which is why the water colour is different. But via scissors I was able to make the different colour mostly mean salt water vs. fresh so that’s something?
things I need to do differently on Greater Northshore: my double line separation needs to be more consistent. they get too close in places and that’s bad.
also I need a better tool but I don’t know what. something like illustrator that preserves objects. but not adobe shit because yikes money.
I decided it was kind of rude to cut off discovery park so I widened the workspace to put it back on
and that also gave me the space to add back the west seattle bridge detail so I did that too
and a little cleanup why not
anyway it's 722x656mm or roughly 28.5"x26" now at intended print resolution (300 dpi because that's a standard here)
I really think and hope I'm done with this version, now that I know this thing has legs I'm kinda like "whelp now time to do it over again with proper tools" so that maintenance will be easier and alignment won't be such a bear and a half
I grabbed a minute to slap Creative Commons 3.0 BY license on the bike map project in github. I dunno if anybody in particular was waiting for that, but there it is.
(I was thinking whether to be BY-NC but if somebody wants to publish a book of maps and include this one, as long as it means more help for biking I don't care.)
Obviously this applies only to Greater Northshore map that I made, not to anything else including the Megamap tile-together of all the maps that actually get updated around here that I know of.
Here, have the quickly-made MEGAMAP 1, a combination of the new Greater Northshore Connector Bike Map, most of the City of Seattle 2023 Bike Map, and the April 2024 2 Line Connector Eastside Bike Map.
It is NOT SMALL. Printed at native 300dpi, it's right about 26" square, or 660mm square.
Release 1 of the Greater Northshore Bike Map is NOW! Full res version is downloadable, it's like 600mm/24" wide printed at 300dpi and connects the Seattle and 2 Line Connector Eastside bike maps.
(and my printer doesn't like it. it doesn't like full tabloid and this is bigger than that, it took like ten tries to get this good and it's still a little weird a few places but not enough to care)
RELEASE CANDIDATE 2 of the Greater #Northshore Bike Connector Map, built to link the Seattle and 2 Line Eastside Rail maps. Since we haven’t had one and nobody else is going to connect the dots, I decided I would.
Printed at 300dpi, the map is 24″x10.4″ or 608x264mm.
NEW IN RC2:
Added note "very difficult" to part of Tolt Pipeline Trail.
Added steepness indicators on Goat Trail Road/NE 178th.
Added steepness indicator on short path from Burke-Gilman to 61st Ave NE.

A couple of small corrections
