Were any of you aware that the speed limit on the Burke Gilman Trail is 5 mph slower than in the City of Seattle? Yes, while the rest of the city is fine with would-be Tour De France entrants zooming along at 15 mph, the City of Lake Forest Park has set up a de facto speed trap between Seattle and Kenmore with well hidden 10 mph signs along the way.
I know that we fancy ourselves a sleepy little Suburb, but are we really 5 mph slower than the rest of Seattle?
My peeps on the street tell me that there have been at times 2 of LFP's finest monitoring bike traffic on the Burke-Gilman. Not only that, but they are wearing yellow jerseys, presumably in homage to our presumed steroid-free National Hero , Lance Armstrong.
I'm taking this as a sign that as a community we have little to worry about in comparison with the rest of the world. Really, if we have not 1 but 2 police monitoring bicycle speeds, then we've go it licked, haven't we?
This is good news for us and for those of you looking for homes in the area. If long boarders and speeding bicycles are at the top of our priority list, then we truly live in Eden.
Fence-sitting home buyers take heed: When word gets out, our property values should skyrocket!. Log on to my Remax agent website immediately for a home tour...................
My best,
