Was it lower than regular street level? If so, you’re talking about the Greenway which is a converted rail route. I believe making it a bike thoroughfare was (is?) intended as a temporary measure before a new light rail line was put in its place.
Quite nice to have a protected bike corridor that crosses the center of the city, that’s for sure.
- sleepybrett 4y agoit seemed that way, honestly it was like 8 years ago and i was mostly reacting to a flock of bicyclists riding down the middle of the street during the morning commute. It made me smile and I wished that Seattle could get it's shit together.
- AtlasBarfed 4y agoNo the greenway is supposed to be permanent. The Light Rail was a huge battle and for ... some unknown reason ... they had to shut down a huge amount of it while they built the light rail (through a useless area that none of the residents want it going through, that they could have routed it through uptown where it would be useful...) But none of the major bike infrastructure is slated for replacement by light rails.
- germinalphrase 4y agoI’m really glad to hear the Greenway is permanent. Thanks for the correction.
