I agree - for through cyclists, not an issue, but if you want to sneak over to Greenlake, the cars rule. Wider crosswalks? Signs that say 'Yield to peds and bikes?' how about a big painted street mural??? Thoughts on how to solve this?

Will be much better than riding through the mine field that has existed there for years. That said, Ravenna Blvd badly needs improved bike access to Green Lake Park at the west end. Even with the repaving, the wide buffered bike lane essentially dead ends across Green Lake Way from the park, and you're on your own to find a way across that hellish 5-way intersection. This is especially a problem for families, kids, inexperienced riders -- precisely the kinds of folks we should be encouraging to bike to their Green Lake soccer games and picnics!
