The People's Budget
your voice, your choice
These weekends are for more than just cycling. Thousands of people of all backgrounds enjoy the lake every summer without having to worry about dangerous drivers on a select few weekends. Drivers often dangerously disregard the signs. Which makes sense because no reason for the closure or detours are given.
1) Invest in clear signs and detours.
2) Re-brand the weekends to be more inclusive of other uses of the park.
3) Bring food trucks, music, and art to the park.
This proposal has been accepted because:
Type of funding: Programs and services (non-capital)
Rough cost estimate: Under $500,000
Evaluation notes:
✅ This idea could be implemented without changing current policy or law.
✅ This idea is within the City's jurisdiction.
✅ This idea doesn't name a specific vendor.
✅ This idea would not incur costs indefinitely.
Justification: This is a common request we have received from communities in Southeast Seattle. This program has existed for over 50 years on Lake Washington Boulevard. Updated signage is needed for future iterations of the program, as well as infrastructure updates.
Other notes: The Lake Washington Vision Process outlined some recommendations to improve the Bicycle Weekend program, including increased programming.Thank you for sharing your idea. This idea and its evaluation have been forwarded to the budget delegates. They will use this information to group together similar ideas, narrow down options based on community needs, and develop fully detailed proposals for you and your community to vote on in October 2023.
