It would be great if you could include a description of where the photo was taken and why you find that piece of infrastructure challenging - just so I don't have to put a narrative to it for you. But yes, send 'em in! Photos are welcome as well.

Are you open to photos too? Some of the more obvious problems don't even need a video to point out. Potholes are an example; another is the sometimes less than ideal detour routes that are devised to get bikes through construction. The Mercer construction has been one of the worst for this. See http://www.flickr.com/photos/clintandleslie/6985405880/in/photostream It would be great if SDOT could put more effort into establishing safe and reasonable detour routes for both bikes and pedestrians.

So what I did, is I strapped on my GoPro camera and took pictures of my whole bike ride from Log Boom Park in Kenmore, through Seattle, and ending in Ballard, and work my way back. The trip was enjoyable and the people were friendly. I got a quite a bit of waves and hellos from fellow cyclists, and pedestrians. I just biked along the Burke-Gilman trail and wanted to share my ride with others to hopefully encourage others to bike and explore their city. I hope you enjoy the video, and if you did, please share it! Thanks a bunch! http://youtu.be/wMkpVDU3bDs http://youtu.be/wMkpVDU3bDs On Earth Day, I decided it was a beautiful day to go out for a ride and take some pictures.

That doesn't always mean they get to your pet peeve pothole, but the priority concerns get addressed. I've emailed about signals that weren't tripped by bikes.

Liz.Ellis@Seattle.Gov I have emailed her photos in the past to have sidewalks repaired. Hopefully my latest effort on the south end of the Ballard Bridge will get fixed this summer....
