Hazard reports for WA

Location: 6505 Woodland Pl N, Seattle, WA 98103, USA
Priority: High risk
Status: Forwarded
Description: This section of Woodland Place N is in really bad shape and hazardous for cyclists. I've submitted a complaint directly to SDOT but received no response. At the very minimum they need to get a street sweeper out there and clear out the large amount of gravel that is built up along the curb, extending at least 12" in some places into the bike lane. There are also weeds growing up from the pavement below the curb, in the edge of the bike lane. In addition there are numerous potholes, the bicycle lane markings have faded or disappeared. All this in and around an intersection with two arterials (Linden and 65th) merging to lead up to an entry to Hwy 99. It's a signed (and formerly marked) bike route that connects from Linden through the underpass to Greenlake. It really needs attention, right now it is downright dangerous for bicyclists. Full report

Location: Chief Sealth Trail, Seattle, WA 98118, USA
Priority: High risk
Status: Pending
Description: There is a moss or fungus or something growing on the trail here and it makes this corner EXTREMELY slippery when raining. I've crashed twice here and I see one more crash reported. The combo of the turn radius/ moss makes it difficult to stay upright when it is raining, even if you know about it. Not sure what you can do, maybe some kind of moss remover? (note: high risk when it is raining, ok now). Full report
Location: 5033 Green Lake Way N, Seattle, WA, USA
Priority: High risk
Status: Forwarded
Description: Cyclists headed southbound on greenlake are directed into a bike box at N 50th street. The bike box is adjacent to two lanes of traffic that cross 50th to Stone Way. Unfortunately, there is no bike lane on stone way on the other side of 50th for 1/2 block (there are sharrows). There is, however, a curb island that results in cyclists being squeezed into traffic, although there may not be room because cars are directed to occupy the same space.

The bike box needs to direct cyclists to occupy the space in front of the cars in the most right-hand lane crossing 50th so that cyclists will not be squeezed. Alternatively the curb island could be reduced in size so that the bike lane promised by the bike box can exist. Full report

Location: 2601 Richards Rd, Bellevue, WA 98005, USA
Priority: Normal
Status: Pending
Description: There is a wide section of bad pavement in the middle of the intersection of Richards Rd and SE 26th St. I encounter the pavement when turning left (south) onto Richards Rd from SE 26th St.

The wide area of affected pavement is torn up a over an inch or two deep and is covered by gravel from the deteriorating pavement. This irregular pavement makes the turn onto Richards Rd risky as someone with skinny tires (and actually wider tires at this point) could get the wheel trapped in a rut and lose control. The gravel and the bump provides an additional hazard.

Last year this hazard existed, but was easily avoidable. This spring it has grown to the point where it is very difficult to avoid, even if you know it's there. Full report

Description: When heading southbound on 156 Ave NE, there is a huge open hole with a sunken area around it in the left lane. This usually isn't a place for cyclists, but I take this regularly to get to the left ahead of a left turn into the MS campus. It could easily blow out a skinny tire or cause someone to lose control while crossing this busy intersection in heavy traffic. Full report
