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.
Kirkland's official map - five years out of date - not only fails to show bike lanes that do exist, it shows multiple bike lanes as extant that do not in fact exist. (Or if they do exist, they're invisible on Google Maps, both overhead and streetview.)
Hey can anybody give me authoritative on the bike situation in North Kirkland, particularly 100th Ave NE? Because their map is 5 years out of date and Google's street view alternates between dates in ways that means what bike lanes are there (and I'm confident some are there) flicker in and out of existence for me.
1/2 Today’s bike adventure was a ride with my friend across the lake for some beer & back
-riding Eastrail thru Kirkland
-delicious East Rail Ale at Chainline Brewing
-pretzel was big (Nick’s head for scale)
-we then rode new Totem Lake Connector bridge & back on BGT #SEAbikes#Seattle#Kirkland#Eastrail#BikeTooter#PNW
Talking of #northshore, might as well mention that they're about done with the little three-block missing bike link between Burke-Gilman and the West Sammamish River Bridge bike path, which heads south into #Arrowhead towards #Kirkland - pavement was down last time I was there and at least some of the signage. No paint yet, but it's supposed to be done pretty soon.
HELP SAVE BOREAL FOREST by calling on Costco to use recycled or forest-free materials in its toilet paper
In the time it takes you to brush your teeth tonight, #Canada 's #BorealForest will lose three football fields of #trees.
It's alarming, but the culprit is softer than you think: We're watching the boreal disappear before our eyes in part because #Costco uses boreal trees to make toilet paper.
And if you look even higher -- up to our atmosphere -- you'll find another important benefit. The boreal's trees are a #CarbonSink, soaking up enough #carbon each year to offset the global warming #pollution of 24 million cars.
Now, back to #Costco. Shelves lined with #Kirkland signature toilet paper can't compare with the beauty and majesty of forested lands in the world's "northern lungs."
Got asked to design a #Lego#Gastonia for #Jim#Kirkland (for a friend of his to give him).
Here is the end result.
I will now have to get the parts and build it to make sure they work, then get the parts to my friend to pass on to Jim.
