You think you’ve seen it all, and then you find something like this. This is truly something cool, but it was tremendously interesting and I’m glad I read it.

I walked up Denny from 9th to Fairview today while thinking of this post. I'd completely forgotten the Wyland Orca mural on the La Quinta which adds a lot to the view across from Denny Park. The corner at Westlake had a lot of life just after 5pm, probably people stopping by for groceries after work. I hadn't realized that there would be absolutely no visibility of traffic coming down the hill because Denny has about a 10% grade up to Terry and Boren, which really makes the Pan Pacific in 2200 Westlake and the Mirabella at Fairview seem even taller than they are. I really like the central courtyard at 2200 except that it's currently for car loading. I could imagine instead of short-term parking maybe someday that could be a green roof for community events. Half of it gets some direct sun.

“The need to accomodate four travel lanes leaves very little room for sidewalk, and eliminates the possiblity for substantial planting strips or parallel parking to buffer pedestrians from fast moving traffic. You might think that new development would be seized on as an opportunity to set new buildings further back from Denny and humanize the sidewalk, but as far as I can tell it has yet to happen.”

I’d prefer to be hopeful that the City will strangle its traffic engineers one day and then downsize Denny to a one-lane each way + center turn lane street. Would help to humanize Denny and grab some extra space for wider sidewalk, plantings, and/or bus(s) lane (don’t respond to me about how bad the traffic is on Denny, I know it is and could care less). I didn’t think this would actually happen of course, but with all the not too shabby development happening a little east of this area at the streetcar line, it may actually happen…minus the strangling of the traffic engineers unfortunately.

I prefer the Pike-Pine overlay plans for actual neighborhoods. Brown bag proceedings tomorrow at Noon and I expect on Channel 21.

the bread loaves document is pretty convincing. Problem is, the 2nd to last page is titled: “Ideas for Potential Recommendations.” Not really barnstorming material.
