Summer closure of Lake Wa Blvd - Get your comments in now

Well that meeting happened, and it appears the idea is still alive and kicking.  A flyer sent to residents says:

At its June 26 meeting, the Board of Park Commissioners will discuss the proposal for this summer's closure of selected park roads and make a recommendation to the Superintendent.  We welcome your written testimony for the Board's consideration until the June 26 discussion and recommendation via e-mail, fax, U.S. mail, or hand delivery.

When's the deadline?  This wednesday at 5 pm.  Send an email to Sandy Brooks, fax it (do people still use fax?) to "Attention: Sandy Brooks" at 206 233 7023, or send it to Sandy Brooks at 100 Dexter Ave N, seattle, wa 98109.

And if you don't remember what they're proposing, from July to September this year Lake Washington Boulevard, from Mount Baker beach to Seward Park, would be closed to car traffic one weekend day each week (in addition to the regular bicycle saturdays/sundays, presumably meaning two weekends a month there would be no traffic on the boulevard either day) plus every thursday as well, to coincide with bicycle thursdays at Seward Park.

Personally, even though I drive on the boulevard every day, I support it.  Other routes are available for cars, and perhaps it might just encourage me to work from home one thursday, or (gasp!) ride my bicycle.
