Ballard and Fremont have both had local chapters of Seattle Neighborhood Greenways in the past, but they have been quiet in recent years. So some neighbors are organizing to bring the neighborhoods together into a new supergroup, and you’re invited.
The group is hosting a launch party 6 p.m. Wednesday at Peddler Brewing.
From the event page:

It’d be nice if we could finish the 17th Greenway. And I don’t mean the Dock St. dead end, I mean finish extending the Greenway down 17th to the future Missing Link, including safe crossings at Leary and Shilshole.
And while we’re at it, can we get rid of the bike only cut-through next to the post office? Most of the time, it’s not usable, due to debris or someone parked, blocking the exit. Not to mention, it’s still not clear what problem it’s trying to solve (if anything, it needs to be blocking southbound traffic at 58th and 17th.
