Mt. Rainier just put in new permeable pavers to a parking lot adjacent to city hall. Good deal. Then they put a "park and ride" sign literally right in the middle of where people would walk (I still haven't taken a picture, but I will tonight). I got home from walking my dog the other night freshly P.O.'d that I had subconsciously altered my path around where I used to walk. No one seems to think it's a big deal. In a town that's trying to transform it's core, bring in businesses, and decrease the vacancy rates, that's just one of a thousand details that says "welcome, have a stroll around our lovely downtown", or "screw you get back in a car where you belong" and I'm afraid we just said the latter.

The other sidewalk I use frequently is at L and 18th (near Ritz Camera..if it's still there) where 18th adds a right turning lane onto L they took away all the space for the sidewalk and gave it to autos. Tons of people use it and it's tough to navigate during rush hours. A wall of people build up

I'm no expert, but it doesn't look like the sidewalk in the photo is ADA compliant. Lawsuit?
