40th Street westbound between Latona and Wallingford is a dangerous street to bike on: uphill on a narrow single lane with no parking and four bus routes sharing the street. The city could easily develop 41st St., which is just as wide and has no traffic, as a bike-safe alternative.
I saw an article in GOOD magazine that showed bike lanes in Denmark. They are between the curb and the parking strip, which protects cyclists and encourages more people to bike to work.
The City of Seattle has a Bicycle Master Plan that needs implementing. It needs community support to avoid widdling away of the plan by narrow minded merchants as written up here .
