There's a brick crosswalk at NE 8th & 156th by Crossroads Mall that's totally flat but treacherous when wet. Besides being slippery for pedestrians and bikes, I've seen cars slide into the crosswalk. They need to focus on functionality over aesthetics!

๐Ÿ˜ In gardening lingo, "urbanite" refers to pieces of old concrete that are reused for things like rockeries, to keep it out of the landfill. Yup, Clark is a chunk of broken up sidewalk.

Is it possible to get your book back in print? The city of Bellevue uses an atrociously White-washed book for the "Bellevue Essentials" class they teach each year. Your book should be used instead!
