Right.
and on this section of a build up of the interurban trail network, the problematic intersections can, and should, be redesigned to more safely address these concerns. Jan really mischaracterizes this road as having a lot of intersection conflicts. some of this backs up on a Kmart and mall, for instance. NO intersection conflicts whatsoever. and a lot of the streets to the east of the cycletrack have very limited ( a block to three) street lengths.
People need to understand the cycle track Jan is being critical of is a build up of the interurban trail - a major, mosty off road path network N/S into seattle that is a MAJOR commuting route into downtown, with greater cycle transportation potential.
from Wiki - "The Interurban Trail North begins as a signed bicycle route in downtown Seattle running through the Fremont neighborhood, through Phinney Ridge and Greenwood, to 110th and Fremont where it becomes a paved rail trail until 128th and Linden where it will become a cycletrack to the City of Shoreline Border.[1][2] At the City of Shoreline the route becomes a wide non-motorized route for 3 miles until the Snohomish County line."
it will be easy for the city to mitigate the issues Jan has identified along the track, assess and modify any genuinely problematic crossings.
