Alki neighbors fight sidewalk investment- I know some neighborhoods happy to take those funds.

Just read about this on the West Seattle Blog. It seems that folks along Alki Ave are fighting(!?!) against “two options for completing the segmented sidewalk on the north side of Alki Ave from the west end of Alki Beach Park to the spot where the unbroken sidewalk picks up again just south of Alki Point.”

And why does the WSB say they are fighting these sidewalks?

“Major concerns voiced previously by residents along the north side of Alki included fears they would lose parking spaces that currently exist where a sidewalk would go, and also lose existing landscaping.”

Anyway, I have an easy solution for this, take away the Alki funding, and give it to an area that wants and needs it.
